Delayed Stars

i turn my head
in my vision there's a streak
some pretty lights chasing me
clocks ticking slow
and i've fallen prey
to a season of fear

and little did i know
what wrath would be wrought
from the night in my cloak
little did i foresee
coming my way
that'd completely stop me

there's nowhere to run
it's just safe to stay indoors
i can't trust anyone these days
they're all against me

i've lost my balance
so many times before
but never did i really look into it
i fell off the stairs
into a pile of knives
and i gazed at the stars above me

the shapes that they make
and the dreaded undertow
that i feel sucked in
the binding inside
with the searing aura
i fear i'm out
