Who's there...? No really, I'm scared! I'm scared of the dark. Night brings the dark, And now it is night. Dark, dark night. But until the lights go out, Everything's alright. Well, the lights are out... Everyone is asleep in their beds, Snoring, peaceful, With dreams in their heads. But I am awake And terrified instead. What was that? I think I heard another noise... A sound, quite quiet, That doesn't belong. I'm hiding in my sheets, Sheltered from the eyes that I just know are out there, Beyond my reach, Waiting to get me. I squeeze my eyes shut. It's even darker now. The silence starts to settle in, Slowly, driving me insane. Then a noise in the night, To me, such a fright. Who Is There? I'm so scared... If I could just reach the light, But the switch is miles away On my wall. He, it, would catch me Before I could ever reach it. It would reach me first. And I would have to leave My covered cavern, Where at least I can pretend That I am safe. What a lie! I don't even believe myself. Why should I? It is pitch black. Everyone is asleep in their bed. Or dead. And I'm next, oh god... He'll get me, I know it! I can't fall asleep, And shouldn't even if I could. Too dangerous. Of course, at least I'd have a few moments To dream away my fear. Though more likely it would follow me Into a terrible nightmare. He's waiting for me To drift off, To leave my body unarmed, Unaware. He's out there. So I'm scared. So scared. Scared of the dark... Of the night... Oh, why can't there be light? But they already said "night night, Don't let the bed bugs bite." Bed bugs? More like monsters. Or worse... Murderers. Why would they leave me alone? How could they? I'm scared of the dark... I'm So Scared... Please turn on the light... -knock knock- Who's...there... "Night night..."
