Book it.

For things better left unsaid
I had to go and raise the dead
What have I become?
What will I ever be?
It can take a long, long time
and you'll have many sleepless nights
but I'm standing right here.
Won't you be a dear?
In the middle of each day
All I can find to say
Is it'll be okay
But you know, it will.
Pinch me if it's all a dream
and I'll be trying
to get back to sleep

The owl bends his neck
Just to get a better look.
Just in case.
In case there's something 
creeping behind
There never is
"Not yet" he says
He suspects the worst
He sees the worst
In everything
In everyone
He cannot help it
It's only because
he has looked
into his own eyes
and found himself
the worst.
