Castle Freak

Walls of red dripping light Heavy on my flight or fight, I am the Igor gaurding these hallways. Hunchback green with a crimson stare Past the gates of Truth or Beware, I reside on the house on the hill. Floors that creak and stairs that wind Taunt the these scary demons of mine, You cant conjure these ghosts that reside. Dracula's coffin, Frankenstein's chair Ride on the back of the Wolfman's hair, But Im the monster they all still fear. What they dont understand- They raise their torch and sharp pitchforks And poke at the beast within me. Gaslight the extremes with a frightened flair As I haunt these rooms Who would dare to step in here? I am Quasimodo personified. And all the townspeople chant: Demonic Devin under the bed While Emotional Emily could wake the dead. For Manic Mary never fear Paranoid Pete will bring you to tears. Insecure Ira has banshees screams But Schizo Stan has nothing on those streams- The haunted attraction lives inside me. Now Enter me, Im a Castle Freak- You misunderstand my daydreams. See me, Im that sideshow creep- I need a therapist to conduct this exorcism.
