Hug me, Daddy.
Tuck me in.
It's time to go to bed.
Kiss me gently,
Say goodnight,
Make sure the monster's dead.
Help me, Daddy.
I'm alone.
I'm trying not to scream.
The nightmare's coming,
Deep in the dark,
It's haunting all my dreams.
Save me, Daddy.
I'm so scared.
Please come and rescue me.
But he can't hear me.
He won't care.
He doesn't want to see.
Listen, Daddy.
Hear me out.
Don't hang me out to dry.
I'm not lying,
I'm not wrong,
Please don't make me cry.
Where is Daddy?
Hiding, love.
His face you will not see.
For he has left you
All alone
For all eternity.
