Mighttime Fears
Nighttime Fears
You feel so safe don’t you
Cowering in the light
But watching when the day is through
And the darkness spreads it is fight or flight
You do not know where to hide
Danger will follow your every step
They will be watching at your bedside
There is nowhere you can sidestep
The monsters are tracking your scent
Looking for you in the street
They want to lead you into descent
And it doesn’t matter if they cheat
So pray before you go to sleep
Talk directly to your god
Ask them for your soul to keep
Now, this may all sound flawed
So check your closet and under the bed
Then rest and sleep in peace
Do not worry sleepyhead
Just close your eyes and your fears release
Good night my little one
Dream only of your paradise
I will guard you until your sleep is done
And I know that all of your dreams will be nice
