Awake I have been so alone Afraid to close my eyes I'm waiting for the dawn
Alone in my shadowed room Sitting here all by myself Morning will be here soon – morning will be here soon
In a small child's room, here I am again / In a small child's room here I am alone
The night I know what it hides Things that come and get me now Things that crawl and slide Oh no – I think I hear one now Scratching at my closet door – Begging me to let it out – begging me to let it out
The time I watch it crawl slow When will the sun rise again Making the bad things go The sheets are up over my head Now I realize there's something Under the bed – There's something Under my bed
They came once again to take me Away – but this time I was Not theirs to take
They tried without fail to pull Me through their void I try to tell but no one believes This boy
