Panic

In the dark.
What might be; lurking, hiding waiting.
In the dark.
There's something, waiting to be taking.
In the dark.
Right there!
In the dark.
What? Where?

In the shadows 
somethings breathing.
In the shadows 
think I'm seeing.
In the shadows
right here!
In the shadows
it's near!

In the darkness of the night,
something's waiting just for me.
In the darkness of the night,
awaiting patiently.
In the darkness of the night,
it thrives!
In the darkness of the night,
taking lives!

Something's out there
trying to get me.
Something's out there
it won't let me.
Something's out there
while I'm walking.
Something's out there 
and it's stalking!

In where I can't see's
where it sees me.
Where I can't see's 
where it might be.
What I can't see 
sees me plainly.
What I can't see's 
coming for me.

No where to run.
No where to hide.
No where to go.
Can't get inside!

There's no escape.
Can't get away.
What can I do
when no where's safe?

And so I freeze.
