Have you ever got that feeling,
That someones in your house,
When your all alone,
Or tucked in bed at night?
Have you ever got that feeling,
That says " Don't go down the basement, don't look under the
bed?"
Do you check your child's room at night,
Because you had a feeling they might not be there?
Do the hairs on your neck stand up on end,
Are you afraid of too much silence?
Is someone hiding in the closet,
Is someone creeping up the stairs,
Do you hide under the covers,
Then re-ajust yourself when you realize your feet are hanging off the bed.
Even though someones in the next room,
Do you plan an emrgency escape before you sleep?
Do you carry the phone around the house at night,
Do you check every car that comes down your street?
Nobody likes to admit these things,
They like to say that theyre brave.
I know I do.
But every now and then,
When I'm all alone and no-ones home,
I like to turn on the tv and call a friend,
Just to hear a familiar voice,
To know that nothings there.
I know it sounds childish,
But its true, and I hate admitting it.
And even I dont like my feet off of my bed,
But I guess we all gotta face it.
Face the feeling, the feeling of fear.
