Alone

When you take a wrong turn down a seldom seen road

A whistling breeze moves the trees to and fro

A shadow ahead sends a chill through your bones

Maybe it's your tired eyes playing tricks

Maybe it isn't what your mind predicts

Maybe an hour of shut-eye could fix

There's a shadow ahead

There are eyes in the trees

An eerie wind howls

Footsteps rustling leaves

You swear it grows louder

Apparitions draw close

Unfortunately

You're all alone

In the dead of the night when you struggle to sleep

Hyper-aware of each time that you blink

Awake in the dark, can't control what you think

Maybe it's your tired eyes playing tricks

Maybe it isn't what your mind predicts

Maybe an hour of shut-eye could fix

There's a bump in the night

There's a knock on the door

A flickering light

Or a creak of the floor

A mysterious man

With intentions unknown

What a terrible time

To be alone

Maybe it isn't your eyes playing tricks

Maybe it is what your mind predicts

Maybe, just maybe, you're not alone
