User:AsILayYouDownToSleepYourSoulIsMineToKeep

Lying there, in your bed.

Not a single thought in your head.

You toss and turn, getting comfortable.

Suddenly, the sound of laughing awakes you, with a scare.

You look; I'm there.

You turn with fright, turning on the light

"It's not polite to stare. Lie back down; I won't hurt you, I swear."

My hand pushes you back against your mattress.

Your blankets hold you down as you struggle to get back up.

The light disappears.

Darkness drowns the room.

"Now, let's sing your doom."

Tears roll down your cheeks.

Unable to make a peep.

I sing

As I lay you down to sleep,

your soul is now mine to keep.

With every scream, with ever tear,

I'll be standing here.

Watching as you fade away

unable to see another day.

Hush little child, don't you cry.

Lying still as you die.
