The House of Boo Lyrics

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 cold beyond is like lizard claws
crawling from the hereafter
silent things scream and silent things BANG
still the room is still but 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 its 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-i'm petrified
the room is BLACK!
my mind is RED!
I'm alone in my room
...but theres someone in my head!
HUNGRY HANDS HAUNT ME IN THE NARROW OF THE NIGHT
AND I'M 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 DROOLdawns glorious light-- a stale recourse
I'm the empty cup ---I'm still seeing stars
well thats all right-
its like I'm already there
seven dawns UP seven moons DOWN
ill get to sleep some night soon
thats all right -
its like I'm already there
