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 -(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
(repeat *)
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
