Nightfall Came

The world turned on its side as I
 Emerged from behind the cellar doors
 Gold light eroded to a cool groan – radiance replaced
 By the fireflies' glow as the sun hid behind the trees
 ♪
 Nightfall came again... And again
 And again and again and again
 Radiance emerged from the cottage window
 I hid, this time, in fear of the light
 Familiar warmth, familiar fear
 As I tucked myself away, a shadow lurked behind the frame
 ♪
 It stepped through the doorway
 I stepped out of my skin
 Skin, woman, deeper into the trees
 Further away from me
 The trees grew closer and the fireflies
 Gathered around as I grew closer to her
 A pace turned to run, the trees into vines
 And as I reached, she trembled, she melted
 ♪
 I saw a face
 I saw a shriveled contorted phantom in the mist staring back at me
 The world began to shake
 I saw a strange, hideous face in the dark
 I can't move my arms
 I can't feel my legs
 Fear
 Only fear
 Brother
 Still here
 Nightfall came again... And again
 Ghost, essence, hag, body
 Ghost, essence, hag, body
 Ghost, essence, hag, body
