In the Dark

It's there, it's somewhere,  out in the darkness watching me 
Surrounding everything, watching with there yellow eyes
Out to kill me,  to torture me till I'm black and blue
To put burning hot coals on my body as I scream 
In pain and terror and it's comming,comming for me 
You need to run, please! There is no goodbyes it's the end 
It's not human it's a monster it won't let you go
I hear it, it's calling my name, they all sound the same 
I don't want to play this game but there right behind me
Now there's no way out dont matter if you scream or shout
I feel there fingers on my back digging in, it hurts 
There rotten breath on my neck, teeth getting ever close
There's no way back, the monster in the dark hit its mark
