At Night the Monsters Come Out
There are footsteps on the stairs
They are coming for me
In minutes, the monster appears
Cruel, lustful eyes unseeing
A smile forms
Outside it storms
I scream, but no one hears
I plead for help; but no one cares
My monster stalks me
Claws wrap around my cage
All I want is to be free
Fighting only increases its rage
When it's finished, it goes away
But the pain will never stray
I hear the monster laughing
While I'm left bleeding; crying
I want to run as far as I can
That doesn't fit the rest of my plan
I can't leave her alone with them
I can't leave her alone again
The endless night is ending
I am alone until the evening
Shaking and scared, when will I eat?
I'm starving, but they only come to beat
Daylight is fading
My candle's still burning
Soon it will be night
Thinking, increases my fright
The monsters are lurking
Waiting for the darkening
I curl in a ball and wait
I shiver now, it's getting late
Nobody knows I'm here
Nobody knows my fear
I close my eyes, ready to pray
Happy Birthday, mine was today
I made a wish, it didn't come true
That's okay, they never do
The monsters say I'll go home later
I don't believe their monstrous tale
