Phantom Cats

Turn to close my eyes
To avoid what I know is there
See the shadow crawl up the wall
Afraid of the distant stare

Step back and close the curtain
Head straight for the door
Figure blocking my escape
This creature I do abhore

Even in the dark
I know you’re there
Elusive to the eye
Disappear into thin air

All that I know
Thrown out the door
Nowhere to go
Evolution’s not on our side
They’ve outgrown
To the flesh they’re prone
Deliverance from my soul

Cryptic in their nature
Dissolve into the night
Hopeless and defenseless
No help in this twilight

Feel the grip upon my shoulders
Claws bore into my flesh
Creatures of a hellish nature
I’m praying for my death

Even in the dark
I know you’re there
Elusive to the eye
Disappear into thin air

All that I know
Thrown out the door
Nowhere to go
Evolution’s not on our side
They’ve outgrown
To the flesh they’re prone
Deliverance from my soul
