Wide Awake

Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths

Sobbing in the dark by an old floor heater
Shadows crawling out with an evil demeanor
Broken down inside and i'm asking god why
Laughing as i'm crying cause' I got no reply
Is it because I was never baptized
Is it because you read a book full of lies
Shadows want to play now i'm feeling alright
What else you expect homie I was only five
I rolled a ball to them and they rolled it right back
It happened three times then the ball got flat
Walking back and forth then the hallway door slammed
I wonder if I did something that made em' mad
Dishes shatter in the kitchen even neighbors heard the mess
More excited than spooked barely now I confess
Lit my brothers bed on fire and I slept with an ax
I wish it was a fable ask my family all facts

Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake

I'm glad I can see you even after a Hurst
Born with a gift some say its a curse
Gotta be strong or they can make it worse
Alpha to the demons if not you get hurt
Dug up a Buddha out in my backyard
Demons went crazy didn't like it at all
They made it real clear worst haunting of the year
Gave it to an enemy and made it disappear
Reaper staring at me as i'm deep in a sleep
Some one else seen it couldn't sleep for a week
Show no fear maybe my time to go
Put me in a box and drop me in a hole
All grown up and I got my five kids
One of em' sees other realms like I did
Said she plays with Lucy jumping on my bed
The only problem is Lucy long time dead

Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths
My dear dolly Polly shut your eyes
He'll chop and slice you cut and dice you
Eat you up whole
