Hygge (Wishing On A Well)

This mirror once empty
Stares back faintly
But who are you?
Pale writhing creature
From the clutches of midnight
A fiend courting darkness

Like clockwork the cracks progress
As each wall shifts to a different place
While something breathing out and in keeps drawing near
Run, it's not just you and I around here

As we hush ourselves away
In glass castles on display
High above the world
Whispers in flame unfurl

Here all your demons will thrive
Where songs sleep barely alive
You couldn't leave if you tried-
Wait- was that something I've said?

Robed chanting lightly
Restless, unsightly
I hear them too
So many questions
But one keeps on repeating:
How long have we been here?

There's a picture in the room
On fire like wax melting to escape
And now you're freaking out, so please stay over there
I feel there is something very wrong here

This perplexing elegy
Aligns with pieces of me,
Wishing on a well
But can we break the spell?

Where every shape of you
Is twisted and craving you,
Somehow we always knew
I am the "who" inside our head.
