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
