Thomas Iannucci - Revelations 2:17 Lyrics

Yo, it's one AM I wake up in a cold sweat
With images in my head that I'm trying fo-get
And quivering in my hands that I normally don't get
My hair is stuck to my forehead, sticky and so wet
The clock is ticking and talking, sayin that it's time
My neck is clicking and popping, wit the coldness in my spine
But its hot at the same time, which then starts to remind
Me of things hidden deep in the back of my mind
Now I'm five and I'm crying, I see eyes that ain't mine
Those tears feel wetter than a memory should
Mom's soft hands holding me sure feel good
Caressing, as she whispers like only a mom could
I don't know what's happening but it sure ain't good
She says something bout demons and the power of dreams
And I start to freak out, try not to scream
As she mumbles we aren't alone, the devil is quite real
I feel a presence with us now, a wound that won't heal
She starts to say something but before she can reveal
The answer to this cancer, our only way of protection
I snap out of my trance, pulled in a new direction
The tears are still here, but I'm wide awake
My body aches, bones feel like they're gonna break
It's more than I can take, then I start moving away
Up out my bed against my will, Is this real or not?
I try to hold myself from walking but I just can't stop
My feet heavier than lead, they're dead weight
But I'm headed dead ahead bed headed but quite awake
My head is starting to shake, I feel my bladder quake
As I take another step towards what's coming my way
All the way to the hallway, it's calling my name
The floor creaking under me, this is freakin insane
Don't know what's happening but I'm wracking my brain
The wood floors harder than normal tonight
Almost like stone, I'm alone, and scared for my life
I cough and taste bile, it's vile but soon I'll
Be facing much worse, as I lurch onto the tile
Of the bathroom floor, I'm sore and what's more
I'm sure that the presence I felt is behind the door
I swing it open and suddenly I'm blasted full bore
By rancid air, I gag on the stench
Trying not to puke, so my jaw I clench
As I start to wretch, throat heaves and sputters
My body shakes, I can't breath, so I just shudder
As a voice ahead of me quite calmly utters
Ill it's good to meet you, I've followed you for awhile
I'm quite a fan of your music, known you since you was a child
Every bad dream you ever had, every time you're ever mad
All the times that you lied, I have been there with you man
I'm the one who helped you plan, love to you Illtalian
And I thought it's time we meet, just so that you understand
Who are you I wanna ask, but I can't so I grasp
As I grasp and stand, and try my best not to collapse
look into the mirror, and then I feel faint
Staring back at me I'm seeing my own face
But it ain't the same, na it's all wrong
My cheeks are sunken in, and the nose too long
And my eyes are all red, the skin is too pale
And his teeth are crusted over like rusty old nails
I can feel my heart fail and skip three beats
As I ask him, what is it you want from me?
Then he laughs, and it echoes hauntingly
Nothing I don't got already he says tauntingly
Prompting me, to ask him one more time
What do you want from me?! And he replies
Don't worry, it's nothing that ain't already mine,
Your mind is always with me, when you're lurking online
At those dirty pictures flirting wicha, and all of the times
You've pretended to be holy, you're so full of lies
You hide it all behind an image, to impress your friends
But to their back you call em wack, and it don't end,
There, cuz your prayers are perverted too
Only demanding what you like, like it's your due
You're overdue to come on over, and I'm here to collect
Don't you know that there's no teasing when you're flirting with death?
So take a breath, and prepare to worship me now
This is your encore, Ill all you have to do is bow
Do it now! My pulse is quickening greatly
Everything he's said is true, I'm far beyond saving
I've let my heart wander, and I've made bad decisions
And yeah the way I'm livin really isn't very Christian
But I can be forgiven, man I know that I can change
I'd change every part of me, I'd even change my name
So when i don't bow he starts to shout
BOW TO ME BOW TO ME, I command you do it now
I say no, then he makes me, and I don't know how
But my stomach starts to wrench as my muscles contract
Then I'm attacked, I'm wracked by spasms up in my back
Spine stretched till it'll snap, my body contorts
I bend but I fight it, say a prayer unto the Lord
Which only makes it worse, cuz now I've made him angry
You stupid boy he snaps, ungrateful you should thank me
You are mine, and I claim you, I'll destroy you and I'll maim you
I will hurt you I will curse you I will burn you in the flames too
I will name you I will take you in my image I'll remake you
So just do it man just bow to me just BOW
Jesus!
I cry out, and the screaming stops
My body stops shaking and suddenly I drop
And black out

It's 10 am, I wake up in a cold sweat
With images in my head that I'm starting to forget
I'm shivering in my bed, which I honestly don't get
Cuz the sheets are stuck to my body, sweaty and soaked wet
I got the weirdest feeling I'm not alone
Then I hear a buzz, got a text on my phone
Nope, it's just the Bible verse of the week
Let's see, Revelation 2:17
So I open up my bible app to see what it say
"To him who over comes I will give a new name"
Huh
