Come and Play With Us

I can see you my darling

Asleep

Alone

Won't you come and play with me?

Don't fear my darling

Your heart beats through my head

You're alive to me but I'm just a dream

Won't you come and play with me?

I can see you my darling

The pure fear fixed on your face

Your hands entangled in the sheets

Won't you come and play with me?

Don't worry my darling

The pain

The red

The flashes

It's all part of the fun

Won't you come and play with me?

I can see you my darling

Don't fear, don't fret

Don't scream

No one will hear you

Me and the dollies just want to be friends

Won't you come and play with us?

You're safe my darling

Here in my hands

The Nanny?

Oh, she let us in

The dollies are keeping her company

Won't you come and play with us?

Be quiet my darling,

Please behave

Mummy and Daddy?

Oh, they don't mind

They won't be coming back anyway

We're your friends now

Don't you see

Won't you come and play with us?

You're not listening my darling

Don't resist

The chains on the floor?

They were there before

I escaped and I'm taking you with me

Don't push me away

Won't you come and play with us?

Don't cry my darling

All will be well

The footsteps you say

My friends and I just want to play

The dollies are coming

And Nanny too

Won't you stay and play with us?

Don't run my darling

You won't get far

The blood on your floor

Is your chain to me

You won't be going anywhere

Won't you stay and play with us?
