The darkness envelopes me as I lay here awake
Every sound is magnified by my insomnia
Tick tock tick tock from the clock
Like an echoing abyss
The darkness fabricates shadows into devilish silhouettes
Every one staring at me without eyes
Penetrating deep within
The darkness unnerves me, conjures desolate thoughts
The shadows still stare, the baby stirs
Hummmmmmmmm
The monitor stirs to life
The darkness conceals me from that menacing presence, felt but not seen
A sinister sound reverberates through the speaker
"Rock a bye baby on the tree top"
Tick tock tick tock from the clock
He's here, the chill of helplessness spreads over me
The darkness hinders me as I race up the stairs
Her innocent sound echoes in the silence
"Rock a bye baby on the tree top"
The silhouette stands waiting.....
Tick tock tick tock from the clock.....
"When the wind falls the baby will drop....."
