There's a few things in the night that I don't like,
dark being one of them
bogey men and
monsters
under the bed,
carpet creatures with frightening features
red eyes at the window
and sleep.

This is why I try to stay awake
I don't want to take the frightening
things from what they're doing,

I'm not new in
the game of fear
I've been here
a long time
and
if they tell you it gets easier with age
they're lying,

I'm still trying
to stay awake.
