Little child from the garden wall
Stay away from the woods
Whispers and songs chant for you to come
Closer and closer to the mouth of the beast
Deeper into the woods you go
Claws of malice reaching to you
Little child get away
Run, run away
Run from the the beast lurking in the dark
Hide from the shadows creeping up to your feet
Get away from the claws snatching at your arms
Run now, hurry up, lose chase, get away
Get back up my child, don't lose sight
Keep your chin up, don't weep a single tear
The more you wail, the faster it will find you
It's coming closer child, listen to my pleas
Don't let it take you away
Run now, hurry up, lose chase, get away
Run, run away
Run from the the beast lurking in the shadows
Hide from the shadows creeping up to your feet
Get away from the claws snatching at your arms
Run now, hurry up, lose chase, get away
Run to the top of the hill, where the light never stops shining
My child, you're free for now
Enjoy the days that you have now
But be aware that the monster is still there
In the back of your mind it resides
Restrained in the chains of thought
But how long 'til the chains shatter?
Stay strong child, look at me, you're almost there
Only I know the weight you are bearing
It's crushing you day by day
So keep your heart locked to keep the monster at bay
One wrong move and it will break its way free
To drag your body back into the shadows
You're more than just a vessel
