It's never quiet there
Music screams so soft a tune
You say you never feel alone
With the TV watching you

The creaking in the hallway
Oh that's just the wind
But you grasp the blankets tighter
Cause you can't sleep again

The scratching on the window
Tell yourself it's just a tree
A shudder down your skin
Is the monster underneath

Dear Reader, does it scare you?
The voices in your head
The sound you hear all around you
Speaking to you in bed

The ticking in the living room
The dripping bathroom sink
The whispers in your lullabies
Your thought you never think

Toss and turn in your sleep
The whispers sing a sound
Laughing, ashes ashes
We all
Fall
Down
