The House At Dusk

The fading light brings grayish tones as the life drains out of the family home
Shadows slither along the halls displacing the light of safety and warmth
I’m here alone and I don’t want to show my fear of whatever cradles the land
But I can feel the chill on my skin and I know that they’re back to haunt me
again
Where to hide, turn on the lights
Terrified, The House At Dusk
Breathe, remain calm, they feed on fear
I can’t leave, this is home
Why is my home so unreal, so alone, so unsafe
Scared of the day, the night gets worse, Living and dead all hate me
Breathe, remain calm, they feed on fear
The light is fading and the house is cold, but in the quiet there is no calm
Always near they sit and wait they sit and watch and bide their time
A gentle breeze and a shadow moves, the floor boards creak and strain
Begging me to come downstairs, in the cellar they await
