Analysis of Shivers of Species (Part IX)



Standing here all alone
Wondering why
I remember this tone
The thoughts began
Coming back to me
Paralyzed within
Shivers up my spine
I think it's about time
They are waiting
Watching me so
Waiting to get me
Paranoid and alone
The suppression awakens
From within my soul
Regression of memories
Begin to take hold
I remember just a little bit
They don't want me to
Remember any of it
Today I remember some...
