Buttons of My Bone

I fear of going to sleep now
of even closing my eyes
I fear the blinding darkness
for that's where the creature lies

I try to run
for help I cry
but darkness just watches
as silence replies

a creature forms
of darkest shadow
he catches me
won't let me go

in an icy embrace he holds me
and with a chilling sigh
says "Do you mind if I steal your soul
and drain it till it's dry?"
