lyrics

sirens on the trash compactor sound
collectors run behind, throwing bags
somebody is in my house
i thought i locked the door
"there are three bags of garbage
hanging from your balcony"
i feel the bags
they feel filled with clothing
"why are they on the balcony?
you should have brought them to the street"
i move to move them outside
and the collector beats me to the door
"too late now. the trucks are on another street."

i shut the door behind the collector
but something pushes on it from outside
i try to force the force back
but it enters without force
i look up as it holds me down
the monster is so tall i cannot see its face
i slap the light switch on the wall
with my palms but there is no light
the monster pushes me without touching me\
into the dark kitchen
i still look up see its glowing head
but the face is too high
them it touches me
a force knocks me back
and where am i now?

was it even really here?
or was idreaming?
did it come from outer
or inner space?
and was it even really here?
i never dream of real places
but every place of place is real
the balcony, the kitchen and the door
was it even really here?
was i walking in my sleep?
is something still there watching me?
will it be back? will it return?
what does it want of me?
or was it never even here?

i have not dreamed of monsters
since i was a child
when eyeballs floated up the stairs
and witches gaurded mother's door
and i know i sleepwalked then
because i woke up in her bed
and now i wake up in my bed
even my hair is cold
and the chill spreads through my bones
like icicles
