Boo Radleys Follow

Crawling hands slide to me across a midnight room
I fear my blankets may not be the best
Defenses that I could muster

Still the cold beyond is like lizard claws
Crawling from the hereafter
Silent things scream and silent things bang
Still the room is still but I'm filled with a cold

I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified

Pause cold, I'm alone
I pick up the phone but I fear that it's been disconnected
I don't even check 'cause I hear a breath
And I know this is the end of me
I'm going to hell

Nature screaming whispers free from me
My mouth is dry, my eyes are wide
I'm statuesque, I'm petrified
The room is black

My mind is red
I'm alone in my room but there's someone in my head
Hungry hands haunts me in the narrow of the night
And I'm shaking, thinking, begging, for a precious night-light

I'm terrified
I'm terrified
I'm terrified
Terrified

What should I do when the nightmares come true
The lampshades have faces and the closets are cruel
Gasp and tremble, weep and drool

Dawn's glorious light, a stale recourse
I'm the empty cup, I'm not seeing stars
Well, that's all right
It's like I'm already there

Seven dawns up, seven moons down
I'll get to sleep some night soon
That's all right
It's like I'm already there

Crawling hands slide to me across a midnight room
I fear my blankets may not be the best
