Under the house and under the stairs
Is a thing that awaits and now prepares
He’s only after me, my family is fine
I created him in the back of my mind
When I come home, I pause with the night
And try to tell myself that everything is alright,
He knows me so well and feeds on my flaws
He is going to grab my feet when he runs for the door
Outside my window & under the ledge,
There’s a lady with red eyes and & an amputed head,
She’s only after me, my family is fine,
I created her in the back of my mind
Won’t close my eyes and won’t go to sleep,
Cause I know if I do, my soul she gets to keep,
I’m so sleepy, she’s in for the scare,
I’m jumping out of skin, cause I know that she’s there
The same time every night, I go for a shower,
There’s a thing in the attic that watches every hour
He’s only after me, my family is fine,
I created him in the back of my mind
Turn on hot water, it feels steamy wet,
I know that this heat isn’t over yet,
I can feel his presence, his electric static,
He’s going to drag me into the attic
Under the bed, out in the night
In the old house, bump in the night
Inside the closet, home all alone,
Noise’s outside, heavy breathing on the phone
Stephen King books just before bed,
Mother told me it’s all in my head,
I know that she’s right, I know I will find,
Everything I see is all in my mind
