We've all had a fear
of the monsters lurking in the shadows
like ocean waves grasping the sands of a long forgotten beach
like sadness creeping up on an unsuspecting victim,
greatly within reach

The monster approached
here to take me now
"go away?" said I
"I don't want to die!"

They were standing there
in front of my face
staring into the darkness, peering
ready to take me to the place I've been fearing

Ready to defy the hands on the clock
no longer for me would they go, "tick-toc tick-toc"

These beasts are society
These creatures of stone

They make you feel lost
and sad and alone
then BAM all of a sudden
you're trapped in this hole

Escape is impossible
but you still set that goal

They fill your whole world
with anger and doubt
remember this though, there's no getting out

This hole it's darker than black
as quiet as a graveyard
there's no going back

You can taste the sorrow
and feel the despair
the sad thoughts and emotions
seem to float through the air

Tick-toc tick-toc
time has run out
despite the terror
you're unable to shout

Their vacuous eyes
their unspoken lies
this is the world
that we all despise

Have you ever had a fear
of the monsters lurking in the shadows?
of the creatures ready to take you away at any given moment?

Ah...neither have I...
