In A Small Child's Room

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
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 -(repeat chorus*)
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
