Crazy In the Night

In a dark, dark room light cannot be found
When demons overtake, anxieties unbound
Black cat's silhouette far long upon the wall
Stairs creak, loud and clear, further down the hall

In a dark, dark room light cannot be found
Reactive spirit, all alone, feeling every sound
Winds moan throaty, heavy through fractured eaves
Sinister pumpkins shimmering light, sit among the leaves

In a dark, dark room light cannot be found
Unsettled thoughts, on the bend go 'round and 'round
Werewolves, Frankenstein, Dracula how they make us shudder
Hearts skip many beats escalating to a flutter

In a dark, dark room light cannot be found
Anticipation, deep and dark, envelops and surrounds
Pinhead, Jason, Freddy - fill our mind with fright
Needless fodder for a nervous mind on Halloween night
