Mosquito Demon's War Cry

Lights out, the blanket is heavy as lead,

Then the static begins, inches over my head.

A high-pitched needle, a phantom in flight,

You're the master of warfare, the king of my night.

I swing at the dark, but I hit only air,

You're mocking my pulse from your secret lair.

I hear you buzzing! (I hear you!)

Circling the light of my sanity!

I hear you buzzing! (I hear you!)

A demonic hymn to my vanity!

Show yourself, you coward, you winged little lie!

I'm losing my mind to a two-millimeter fly!

The walls are closing, the fan is a blur,

But I still hear the ghost, that tiny soft purr.

You land on my knee for a second of rest,

I freeze like a statue, put my heart to the test.

I strike with the force of a hammer on steel,

But you slip through my fingers—none of this is real!

I hear you buzzing! (I hear you!)

Circling the light of my sanity!

I hear you buzzing! (I hear you!)

A demonic hymn to my vanity!

Show yourself, you coward, you winged little lie!

I'm losing my mind to a two-millimeter fly!

Where are you? (Buzzing... buzzing...)

Under the pillow? (Buzzing... buzzing...)

In my ear? (Buzzing... buzzing...)

I can't breathe! Make it stop!

Buzzing!

I hear you buzzing!

Got you.

(Buzzing...)
