Thoughts

There is a monster that stretches and grows
During each moment that's spent alone
It's shadowy and can be quite difficult to see
And by the time it's noticed, it's too late to flee...

Hold your breath; Keep it in; Swallow your fear
Curl up tight; Hug your knees; The monster is near
Shut your eyes; Do not scream; Darkness so unkind
It's all just a dream; It's all in your mind...

Rhythmic footsteps fill the emptiness that's left
Where butterflies once fluttered inside of your chest
No hope remains for denial or sleep
Once the monster has awakened and stirs in the deep...
