The Game
The Game
In the dark,
I stumble, I trip, I fall.
I can hear it coming,
scratching the walls.
Push myself up,
give it my all.
It appears from the shadows,
at the end of the hall.
Lanky and tall,
daggers for nails.
Gotta keep running,
I'll die if I fail.
Run Run Run
The game of hide-n-seek has just begun.
Fold yourself, hold your breath,
perfectly still, the secret shouldn't spill.
Thump Thump Thump
on the floor.
Thump Thump Thump
can't take it anymore.
Thump Thump Thump
it fades away.
Thump Thump Thump
it's time to slay.
Uncoil and stand, hammer in hand,
grab the knob, no time to sob.
In rage you burn,
Oh! how the tables have turned.
Now you chase and it runs,
out of the door, into the sun.
There it burns, turns to ash.
The hammer drops and you relax.
Burn Burn Burn
The game is finally done.
