Mother's in the next room.
The walls are paper thin.
Just shout for her,
and she will sprint right to your side.
She'll pull you into her arms.
She'll keep you safe with her warm embrace.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
You are not alone.
But how can I be so sure it's not the monster in my closet?
Darkness is all these eyes have ever seen.
