I used to think it would get me
Sometimes I still tell it goodnight
Couldn't look into the dark or take off my covers
Get dragged into the depths of hell
I remember one day there was blood on the lawn
A big, red circle but where did it come from?
Nobody believed me but I never forget
They'd regret saying that when I wound up dead
Close the closet
Shut the door
Say you love it
And think no more
This room is not for sleeping
Second I close my eyes, it's an inch closer
I see it at the edge: smiling, waiting
I can live or I can sleep, easy choices
I tried the knife under my pillow
Had to move it, they could use it against me
And they can't know I know they want me
I just want to sleep, please let me sleep
Close the closet
Shut the door
Say you love it
I love you
I promise
Revere your
Holiness
Believe me
Let live me
I'm ten, I
Want to live
Please give me
Another
Day, please don't
Hurt my dog
Goodnight
