In an Unknown City on Terra...
Things scurry about in the darkness within reach as one doesn't take the time to look at what surrounds them,
Things hide within the shadows as you place your sight elsewhere for the moment your eyes catch a mundane gem,
Illusionary sights stir in the darkness of the night and day as you place your sight on the meaningless things that catch the eye,
As you will only end up finding comfort in the false security found in what you desire to see, as all things then go awry.
It's quite obvious enough that many people have poor sense, as they easily end up in a plight,
As things hide within the view of people unwary of the strange things waiting to bring forth blight,
As they go about their day, unaware of the dangers that are just out of their sight,
As they lack the ability to see deeper, to find their way safely in the night.~
As a strange tone that is off-key in the background continues like as one questions if its new,
Its quite hard to acknowledge it there, yet its presence affects all of you,
As the noises that you pretended had always been there, start to play a tune that is no longer sweet to the ears,
As just as quickly the silence starts and becomes deafening as your heart begins its rapid beat in sync with your growing fears.
As false beats of noise permeate through the atmosphere as your gaze wander about,
Hiding and smothering the noises that may aid in your unfortunate survival throughout this night,
Giving liberty to the noises nearby that draw the attention, but are meaningless in their importance,
As your last moments are spent paying attention to something without importance.~
Insight is something that may be required to grasp the world, won't it?
Won't the mind crack from hitting the world of unknown the wrong way?
Won't that be such a devious thing to discover, like the monsters that hide under the bed or in the hallway?
Just as you fear the encounter that you may find, the beasts in the dark wholeheartedly anticipate it.~
