Oh, Little Monster, do you reek under my bed
It would frighten me how you conjured bugs on my head
Oh, Little Monster, why me?
Why won't you allow Mommy and Daddy to come find me
Oh, Little Monster, does time fly
You've been smearing blood on my walls of how you were apparently mine
Oh, Little Monster, except I guess now you aren't so "little" anymore
Now you speak of love rather than my own demise anymore
But oh, Monster, I haven't forgotten
My own blood that was shed and flesh you've already eaten
So oh, Monster, don't you dare come any closer
I am not yours, nor do I not intend on being just that
Oh, Monster, try me and you will see
All the those years of troubles will be coming with me
For oh, Monster, I have a bat, don't you see?
All those years of troubles will, too, be yours
Yes, indeed.
So oh, Monster, test my limits again
I won't hear for those pleads of remorse once again
Oh, Monster, I am a woman now
And I'll allow you the empathy of bringing my mattress along my travels, so bow
Oh, Monster, continue to bow before me
Continue to watch as I am pleased from many, yes see
See oh, Monster, how I've made it so far
Without you, except I'm rather nothing at all
Try your best oh, Monster
Try for me
For, Monster, it true that deep down
You loving me is much more than the mere human eye could see.
Although, I must say, you do reek under my bed.
Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
