Nosferatu

Everything doubles itself and back again
Multiplying, dividing my eyes in two
Dividing my vision in two, and switching
Back again to one
A sewer rat, hazy like a cloud
Of poisonous fog in through the vents
Presently within your dreams
Fortunate to be invisible
While breaking at the seams
Clever enough to be too quiet
For a mortal's ears
Don't fret, I run the gambit from end to end
Playing inside, playing out
The mortal fears
Lovely enough that a single mangled fingernail
Might seem a treat, in the dark, over the noise
Now, calm down, boys
You'll be callous enough that you won't care
And calloused enough that no one else would
