You can close  your  eyes
That  won't stop  the monster
You can  deny
This pending  disaster
It's not funny how when
There is a need
There's no one there
At least not for me

I hold my breath
Counting begins
I get to a thousand
And start again
To close to ignore
To familiar to not fear it's at my door this monster
Is here
Burning candles  keep the light on
Running the TV
Until the dawn
There's no kryptonite
There's no crucifix
And denial
This time won't fix
Here is the monster
Here is the end
