Covered In Dust

Why is everyone gone?
Where did they go?
Why did they leave?
I am alone

If you can hear
Please help
I'm lost and scared
Of the man in the dark

He comes every night
I stand alone
But I know he's there
I hear his moan

Please help me

I don't fear the dark
Like most people do
I fear what's in it
And you should too

These things don't fade
Or die
They live forever
Your eyes, they lie

They turn to dust
Like a forgotten memory
I'm covered in dust
Why can't I leave?

When I stare
As the sun sinks
For the last time
As blue fades to pink

The sun comes no more
I'm stuck forever
Lost in a nightmare
I scream, "NEVER!"

I don't know where I am
I'm falling
I scream I shout
No one hears my calling

I finally face it
I'm never alone
I let him take me
The sun has not shone

No one will help me
I no longer beg
I say goodbye
As he breaks my leg
