the windows are shut
the blinds are drawn
the door is locked
the lights are out
but the house is awake
the floorboards ripple
the walls squirm
the ceiling shakes with nervous energy
the doorways twitch
night has fallen
the people inside are fast asleep
but the house is awake

the windows are shut
the blinds are drawn
the door is locked
the lights are out
but the house is awake
the floorboards ripple
the walls squirm
the ceiling shakes with nervous energy
the doorways twitch
night has fallen
the people inside are fast asleep
but the house is awake
