Jabberwocky

There are things, there are creatures about 
With big hands and cavernous mouths 
That's what I'm afraid of these days 

I peeled the wings off a rat today 
I saw myself in her as she limped away 
That's what I'm afraid of these days 

There are things, things that only I see 
There are creatures, and they're out to get me 
That's what I'm afraid of these days 

Glued some wings to the back of a spider 
Looked up for validation, but I could not find it 
No one's more scared than I am these days 

So say it 'cause I can see it 
You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights 
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? 
"Cue the music 'cause this speaker is scaring the kids" 
"The children are trembling", 
Rightfully so, rightfully so 

Pray tell me again because there's a nest in my ear 
And one behind my eyes 
Obscurity and his family 
Are having their fun with my poor mind 

They've made a mess of my vision, 
And a mess of my sight 
I should have been seeing friends 

So say it 'cause I can see it 
You've got the look of a believer on trial 
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? 
Cue the music 'cause I'm starting to scare myself 

"The children are trembling" 
Rightfully so, rightfully so 

So say it 'cause I can see it 
You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights 
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? 
Cue the lights because the darkness is taking its toll
