HOME ALONE

Walls are pressing, light is sinking,
Soon the lamp will burn down and out.
You are sitting, you are thinking,
I don't want to know what about.

You'd give everything you've got to be
Able not to think at all.
There are voices, think you've heard them
From the wardrobe near the wall.

  "We are coming, we are coming,
  Very soon we'll be right here.
  We're your nightmares, we're your child fears,
  You won't make us disappear."

Shadows dancing their dances,
Turn on lights all'round your home sweet home.
In the kitchen, in the bathroom,
In the living-room and in the hall,

Electricity is blinking,
Soon there'll be no light at all.
There are voices, think you've heard them
From the bookcase near the wall.

  "We are coming, we are coming,
  Very soon we'll be right here.
  We're your nightmares, we're your child fears,
  You won't make us disappear."

You are hiding in the corners,
But the shade is hiding there with you.
You are running, you are crying,
But there's nothing else you can do.

When the others come to find you,
There will be no light at all.
You'll be sitting in the darkness,
Chanting, staring at the wall:

  "They are coming, they are coming,
  Very soon they'll be right here.
  They're my nightmares, they're my child fears,
  I can't make them disappear."
