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 I'm filled with a cold
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
Pause cold, I'm alone
I pick up the phone but I fear that it's been disconnected
I don't even check 'cause I hear a breath
And I know this is the end of me
I'm going to hell
Nature screaming whispers free from me
My mouth is dry, my eyes are wide
I'm statuesque, I'm petrified
The room is black
My mind is red
I'm alone in my room but there's someone in my head
Hungry hands haunts me in the narrow of the night
And I'm shaking, thinking, begging, for a precious night-light
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
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
Dawn's glorious light, a stale recourse
I'm the empty cup, I'm not seeing stars
Well, that's all right
It's like I'm already there
Seven dawns up, seven moons down
I'll get to sleep some night soon
That's all right
It's like I'm already there
