It

Which way you gonna turn, little girl? Which way you gonna go? Balanced on the precipice the demon far below Don’t tempt the savage beast, little one, tread lightly as you pass It’s capable of Godless doom you’d never stand a chance If you weren’t mine, I’d blind you I’d take away your sight let the darkness have its way with you you’d be better off despite IT stalks your nights and wakeless days bumps you closer to the edge come fall with me IT softly breathes I’ll catch you from your ledge IT shows you things you’ve never dreamed as IT scratches neath your skin there’s not a way you dare resist the monster now within There was a choice and so IT chose you to be the one a mere morsel for ITS bedtime snack how easily IT won You were so damned young
