Lights out--shadows bloom

crawling hands slide to me--across a midnight room

i fear my blankets may not be the best

defenses that i could muster

still the cold beyond is like lizard claws

crawling from the hereafter

silent things scream and silent things BANG

still the room is still but im filled with a cold

IM TERRIFIED!!!

IM TERRIFIED!!!

IM TERRIFIED!!!

IM TERRIFIED!!!

pause cold im alone

i pick up the phone

but i fear

that its been disconnected

i dont even check

because i hear a breath

....and i know

this is the end of me.

...........im going to hell.

a silent scream it whispers free from me

my mouth is dry my eyes are wide

im statuesque-i'm petrified

the room is BLACK !!!

my mind is RED!

im alone in my room

.....but theres someone in my head!

HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE NARROW OF THE NIGHT

AND I'M SHAKING, BEGGING, for a precious night-light because..

IM TERRIFIED

IM TERRIFIED

IM TERRIFIED

IM TERRIFIED!!!!!!!!!

What should I do when the nightmares come true

the lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel

gasp and TREMBLE ---- weep and DROOL

dawns glorious light-- a stale recourse

im the empty cup ---Im still seeing stars

well thats all right-

its like im already there

seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN

ill get to sleep some night soon

thats all right -

its like im already there
