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 chill beyond is like lizard claw reaching from the hereafter silent things scream from silent dreams bang still the room is still yet 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 because i hear a breath and i know this is the end of me i m going to hell a silent scream it whispers free from me my mouth is dry my eyes are wide i m statuesque petrified the room is black my mind is redish i m alone in the room but there s someone in my head hungry hands haunt me in the morrow of the night i m thinking shaking begging for a precious night light because i m terrified i m terrified i m terrified i m 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 in the empty cup i m still seeing stars well that s alright it s like i m already there seven dawns up seven moons down i ll get to sleep some night soon that s alright it s like i m already there
