Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors 
Jef Aérosol à Paris 


Shush quiet Can you hear ?
Your closest neighbours 
Screaming in fear
Vibrating through the earthly still
A blood curling, piercing, spine chilling,shrill,
Behind close doors where few may peek
May live a hideous inhuman freak,
Only here in human form
Waiting patiently for a new moon to dawn,
Then its fangs will appear organically
His thirst for blood will grip him manically
So your neighbour who you greet
Say hello too each time you meet,
May not be all he seems,
So shush quiet
Can you hear
Your neighbour

Scream

  6. wow amazing and yet so true. I am now in America for a small stay and I see this around here all the time. On the TV here they say that you have no idea who your neighbor is and what he does behind closed doors. On the islands I do not worry for this one and we all know who are neighbors are and it is so peaceful and calm there I do not worry about this at home. Cheers
