Monster

You planted my mind with a lie Dry my eyes Before we're gonna try to sleep Could you leave the door halfway open Mummy, let your broken heart go Leave the staircase lighting on To not fear the gloominess in my room I fade into an image of my mind An unfamiliar garden Overgrown by the voices Of your game, just the same I've done my little bedtime prayer Hoping that your thoughts are on me Let me think that we are not alone May the angel at hand That we've made out of clay Let all the black winged, Illusive creatures and monsters Be anywhere far away from home Claw marks underneath my bed Don't you see Paralysed I know it is in silence waiting Don't you see As long as we hide under blankets It can't make us out in the dark So I do not move I'm wide awake Daddy fights the monster Walking up and down the hall Calling my name The monster, it is more than just a fable Told to frighten us
