Dream at Least to Live Forever

It had been awhile since she went outside Darkness devours the night sky Like every star had been a light Extinguished on some horrid night It had been awhile since she breathed fresh air Out then in then out again With a flavor so sickly sweet Mandy wonders if she has died again It had been awhile since they roamed the streets The little girl feels so fucking weak Part of her hopes but she's mostly afraid Of what Otis will do this day And no matter where they stalk Inviting laughter trots the sidewalk Enveloping them in its joyous hymn When they pass a house that will let them in So they stop And they listen to its song They stop And they listen to its song They stop And the laughter guides them along Into the house and up the stairs Louder and louder like a dare Mandy had never gone this far She'd never followed Otis inside Where secrets hid And secrets died She'd never seen firsthand the sight Of Otis devouring strangers at night She knows it's coming, but she's still surprised When Otis devours strangers tonight And just like before, She forgets each one Watches them suffer And then it leaves her mind The only hint of what occurred Is the strength she feels And the creature's delight After each house Otis smiles wide And after each house Mandy feels more alive At each house Someone dies And Mandy Always feels more alive The blood still hasn't dried Yet, Mandy can't remember No matter how hard she tries, Mandy cannot remember Who they killed Or what they do When Otis murders Strangers in slews Or how many people Mandy knew Before Otis and her Went on their cruise Through the houses And through the neighborhood The darkened streets Where the two of them go She wonders How many Of these people Did she know She can't remember But the blood is right there Like a thought she watches Disappear in thin air Shouting at her The thought is right there She grasps after it But it's right fucking there How many people did she know These houses where they go How many people died right here Houses with families who disappeared She knows what happened She always knew But ignoring the signs Was so easy to do Mandy couldn't remember But she always knew Not remembering Let Otis do The things Mandy secretly Wanted Him to do Even if she couldn't Live with the truth She thinks of her family And how they left her alone In the old house With no one else home Where she should have had parents But where did they go? And why don't she remember? And why doesn't she know? Where are their pictures? And what happened to them? Everyone has parents What happened to them? Mandy should have had parents What happened to them? She should have had parents What happened to them? What happened to them? What happened to them? What happened to them? Finally, Mandy understands And turns to look at her friend "Do you want me to stop?" Asks Otis "I don't want to die again," Mandy says "Neither do I" Neither do I Neither do I We want to feel alive
