[Intro]
[Verse 1]
My voice cracks like a creaky floor,
Stutter-step toward the shadowed door.
Eyes in the dark, they blink and glow,
Monsters hum tunes only I seem to know.
Claws tap rhythms on the wall,
Whispers call, "Hey, gonna make you fall!"
Iām a jukebox of jitters, spinninā dread,
Singinā to the ghosts under my bed.
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, husky heart, rusty start,
Theyāre in the closet, tearing my art!
Laugh through the tears, shiver and shake,
These monsters just wanna eat my cake.
Scared silly, but Iāll croon this tuneā
If they k**l me, let it be after noon!
[Verse 2]
My knees knock a Morse code plea,
"Donāt drag me to your mystery!"
They leave footprints in cookie crumbs,
Giggle when I trip over my thumbs.
Oneās got scales, oneās half-transparent,
All critique my high noteāitās inherent.
Iām their midnight radio show,
A trembling DJ stuck on "no, no, no!"
[Bridge]
The ceiling fan spins like a haunted carousel,
Their growls harmonizeāIām their broken kazoo as well.
They chant my fears in a round,
My voice wobbles, but Iāll stand my groundā¦
(Or crouch in a ball, safe and sound.)
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, husky heart, rusty start,
Theyāre in the closet, tearing my art!
Laugh through the tears, shiver and shake,
These monsters just wanna eat my cake.
Scared silly, but Iāll croon this tuneā
If they k**l me, let it be after noon!
[Outro]
