Am I afraid of anything?
Not really.
Once you've seen it all,
There's nothing left to see.
Most of you were afraid
Of the monster in the closet.
I was afraid of the man that stood
In the corner.
Monsters do not live in closets.
They live in their own homes.
They're the ones you pass by
Every day on the street.
Some of you even looked
Under your beds.
But how do you look for something
That's in your mind?
When you had a bad dream,
You woke up and told mom and dad.
Then it was over and a new day began.
What happens when the nightmare
Lasts for eight years?
Who do you tell
When no one believes you?
Most of you have probably gotten
To a point in life,
Where you can't recognize yourself
In the mirror.
But what does it mean when you can't
Recognize any of the several faces
Staring back at you?
When you were mad,
You slammed the door.
But have you ever had the door
Slam on you?
Most of you have tried talking to the dead
But what happens when the dead
Start speaking to you?
Some of you may call other's crazy,
But have you ever had someone
Call you crazy instead?
