Sleepyhead

He watches the dark As it moves And covers the wall He hides the sound Of his chattering teeth Under his sheets And sleep seems so far away The hair starts to stand On the back of his neck As it crawls onto his bed He's not afraid of the dark when he closes his eyes He runs for his life He feels it breathing down his spine He runs through the night So, quietly he holds His breath waiting for The morning light To drip through the shades Tumbling recklessly into the night The noise of the beast taking over his mind Heart pumping, blood rushing, out of his chest He tries to forget, he tries to forget He runs for his life He feels it breathing down his spine He runs towards the light
