i cant stand the sight
of an open door

theres always someone
standing in the room with
the door ajar

letting out the things
that stay out of
the light of day

no, i cant stand the
sight of an open door
there is someone
standing in the
darkened room
no one can see
them and i cant
either but i know
theyre there i
can feel them
staring at me
though the open
door

theres always something
in the dark
supposed safety of
a bedroom but
i cant tell
you what it
might be

sometimes i hear
them calling my
name

or is that
just nothing too?

sometimes it sounds
like my family
i cant tell
the difference anymore

theres always someone
in the dark
safety of the
bedroom i sleep
in but i
cant tell you
what it might
be because i
dont know what
it might be

theres knocking on
the walls of
my house and
my closet door

i hear someone
tapping on my
bed frame while
i lay awake

there are lights
in the room
but not coming
from the lightbulbs
and not big
enough to be
from a flashlight
or laser pointer
they are blue
and red and
green and white
and sometimes yellow
or orange too
