Текст песни: Shimmer + перевод

Dear God

I don’t know if you’re really real

Because mom and stepdad say that you’re total hogwash

But, if you’re real, and I believe you are

I could really use your help

Every night, something awful comes from my closet

It’s a woman, but she’s dead

I don’t know why she’s here

I don’t know what she wants

Most of all

I don’t know how to make her go away

And I’m really, really scared

I get the feeling that she wants me dead

Shimmer’s not in Heaven, Shimmer’s not in Hell

Shimmer’s in the Echoside as far as I can tell

I feel her presence when I’m standing at the mirror in the dark

I hear her voice within the wind, vibrating my heart

It terrifies me, in my class I feel I’m free, but too quickly it pass

Before I’m headed back to our sickly house on Caste

Shimmer hates laughter and juveniles

Throughout my day I’d hear her say, «I'll make you pay for every smile»

She was a bad girl who liked to cause agony

I guarantee, and now she wants to terrify and bury me

I’m used to sodomy, my dad’s a demon and

Mom is drunk and good for nothin' but somethin' to stuff his semen in

Red light illuminates my closet when Shimmer comes

The retched stench and underneath the door, blood runs

I stay in bed, under covers, but fear forces me

To see the closet doors open and Shimmer pointin' at me

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin

Cocks her head, then she does it again

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin

Cocks her head, then she does it again

At school they laugh, I’ve lost so much hair

But I don’t care, our souls are just orbs in the air

I hate our house, but have nowhere to go to

And when we moved in, my mama said, «This is so cool»

I have no brothers or sisters, no fuckin' pets

And my anxiety grows the darker it gets

Why’s the sun always leave me? Shimmer’s a guarantee

Scarin' me into insanity and no one’s hearin' me

I did tell my favorite teacher, Mr. Bardan

I said, «There's a wicked ghost houndin' me around the clock»

He said, «Pray, little man, God’s bliss is always there»

Yeah, when Shimmer shows up, that bliss disappears

My stepdad just smacks me, sends me to my room

Somethin' happened in that closet, some untold doom

Because it reeks of death in there, I won’t pretend

Then it illuminates, and bloody Shimmer’s back again

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin

Cocks her head, then she does it again

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin

Cocks her head, then she does it again

I left a Bible in that closet, but found it bloody

I just want the world to know I need some help, somebody

When she comes, the temperature drops, I see my breath

My clock light dies out and the room smells of death

I get the sense she’s angrier every time she’s here

Despite the many times I’m paralyzed in fear

Always holdin' a child about my age

Pointin' at me, why all the frustration and rage?

What if she’s just an energy, just pretend to me?

But I believe she’s real and wants the end of me

Fuck it, I’ll do it, she’ll never stop 'til it’s correct

I’ll walk right into her arms, let her have my neck

That night Shimmer came, I was engulfed in fear

But death don’t sound so bad, I’ve had enough, it’s clear

I’d rather die than be her toy to terrify

No more nights of bein' pegged by her starin' eyes

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that (By her starin' eyes)

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck (By her starin' eyes)

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin (By her starin'

eyes)

Cocks her head, then she does it again (By her starin' eyes)

Eyes black, she’s bloody, and she likes that (By her starin' eyes)

A child dead in her arms, she takes a bite of his neck

And then chews it, pointin' at me, blood drippin' down her chin

Cocks her head, then she does it again

Her touch stunned me, like sleep paralysis

I couldn’t move, but saw all the hell of this

Her mouth up close, it was a black pit

Her teeth sunk in well and I felt a rip

Total darkness, but suddenly, pain

'Til I almost went deaf when she screamed my name

Still paralyzed, I opened my eyes

And found myself alive in my closet, sound of health

The fear poured out of my body, released it’s clutch

The first thing I felt was leather’s touch

In my hands, The Bible, the one I left in there

It was no longer bloody and all the pages were clear

Her wretched smell gone, the air was warm

And for the first time in years, I felt a calm

From that night forward, Shimmer was aborted

I can’t help but feel my bravery was rewarded

You wanna be rewarded, too?

Then quit bein' a pussy, queef, and let your nuts hang

Do like your boy, Willaby

Slap a condom on a pipe bomb and slide it right up that punk ass (Oh!)

And before that bitch bomb explodes (Brother)

Give 'em two quick slaps to the chops and tell 'em

«I ain’t your bitch, bitch, bye-bye, boom!

Ahh-hahahaha»
