Monsters Under Your Bed

They're going to eat you
At night when they arrive
Cut you into pieces
After burning you alive

This is what he told me
As he tucked me into bed
Make me fear the monsters
That are screaming in my head

My heart is pounding loudly
I'm afraid that they will hear
The fear that I'm feeling
Blood's rushing in my ears

I think I see a shadow
Lurking in the hall way
It's almost at my door
Death must be coming my way

A hand starts to scratch my door
It now makes a scary noise
My throat is closing up
I seek comfort in my toys

The creature begins to laugh
I recognize his voice
I realize it's my father
Who's made this hurtful choice

My heart begins to break
My face is wet with tears
I don't know why my daddy's
Tormented me all these years
