I don't want to go to sleep tonight Don't want to close my eyes Don't want to drift away You tell me things will be alright You tell me that you'll never go You'll always be right here No matter how hard I try The sand gets thrown into my eyes I slowly spiral down Into the abyss where you can't be found Now I'm alone again My fingers clutch the air Where your hand once was I turn and you're not there I don't know where I am You left me here You left me Alone There's no one on the street The lights are out The emptiness and darkness holds me down I try to scream but there's no sound I try to run but my legs are frozen to the ground Why can't I find you Why do you always disappear I'll wrap my arms around you But when I look there's no one there Now I'm alone again My fingers clutch the air Where your hand once was I turn and you're not there I don't know where I am You left me here You left me You left me here You left me

Hush, oh my darling with terrors in the night. Only mamma's singing can banish out the light. Death will surround you, softly like a sigh. In this monster's lullaby. Think of the horsemen bowling with their heads. Think of the zombies tucked beneath your bed. Think of the turtles clicking nails like knives. In this monster's lullaby. A tangle of string caught tight against your throat. Boiled in hot soup: will you sink or float? Monkeys smashing cribs, oh, hear the babies cry! In this monster's lullaby. Close your eyes. One- two- three. Sleep my monster. Baby. Echoing footsteps, but no one's ever there. A disembodied arm that drags you down the stair. Falling where no one can hear your last good-bye. In this monster's lullaby.

When I was a kid I used to have this dream Something chasin’ me, I’d try to scream and I’d open my mouth But nothing would come out Never really knew what the chase was all about And I’d try to run but my legs were like lead And you were always there, you would fly over head To get away Like you were flyin’ every day But I was stuck to the ground, the monsters would drag me down And I always wondered If you can fly - why can’t I? Coulda been a giant, coulda been a ghost Didn’t matter much the thing that hurt me most was that you got away And I was left behind And I’d wake up in a sweat - pretty scarey for a child’s mind All I wanted to know was And If you can fly - why can’t I? And now I’m older, but the demons still haunt me And I still can’t scream and your flying still taunts me And I’m stuck to the ground, still draggin’ me down And if you can fly - Why can’t I?

Last night saw the Ghost of Grown-Up Future come to me. And he said, "Hold tight. Kinda bumpy as we cross the century." And there I am in my cubicle, typing a report I hit print, but the printer's out of toner, so I file an IS ticket, And thank God it's just a dream. I'm still gonna be an astronaut. I'm still gonna be a rock star, A race car driver, candy bar taste tester, and the Batman. I'm still gonna make a difference. I'm still gonna be important. All right, shut up, relax, it's just a dream. Six lines to repair and test that issue with the site Within the confines of the epic standards doc I had to write. Three more days to complete and file the detailed change request. Time to go, but it's missing an approval, so I start the process over, And thank God it's just a dream. I'm still gonna be an astronaut. I'm still gonna be a rock star, A secret agent, master Lego builder, and a robot. I'm still gonna make a difference. I'm still gonna be important. Ok, ok, chill out, it's just a Dream a little dream the real world fits into The grander scheme, and I can be a Part of things more awesome than they seem. Thank God it's just a dream. I'm still gonna be an astronaut. I'm still gonna be a rock star, A baseball player, guy that drives a tractor, and a Jedi. I'm still gonna be remembered. I'm still gonna change the world. I'm still gonna be the man that everybody says I could be. I'm still gonna be the president. I'm still gonna be a stuntman, A scientist who travels through the Stargate, and a ninja. I'm still gonna make a difference. I'm still gonna be important. That's it, enough, wake up, it's just a dream.

I am in the third grade At Saint Theresa's school Learning about reading, writing And the golden rule Sister Mary Agnes Her ruler in her hand Comes right over to my desk And orders me to stand All eyes are upon me The whole class is transfixed Even that guy hanging up there On the crucifix Sister Mary Agnes Locks me in her steely gaze And asks if anybody knows What happened to my clothes It isn't cool To be naked at school Im glad that this is just a dream If you ask Doctor Freud He might say I'm paranoid 'Cause I fell like everybody's watching me I'm sure that public nudity Must be a mortal sin But if you're only dreaming Does it leave a stain within I'm so very worried About making a mistake Time in purgatory Is something I can't take So I resolve that I must cleanse This black spot from my soul And hurry off to get in line For the confessional I blurt out my guilt While Father's sliding back the shade I realy must confess I'm ashamed to be undressed And he says It isn't cool To be naked at school For pennance you must say your rosary As you head out the door Go in peace and sin no more That's the only way you'll be redeemed It isn't cool To be naked at school On that subject we can all agree If you ask Doctor Freud He might say I'm paranoid 'Cause I feel like everybody's watching me Hanging out for all the world to see

Just say goodnight and close your eyes. The dark's already closing in, The cold of fear Pushing prickles out your skin. Big brother told you stories, Mother said they never could be true Deep down you know Tonight they come for you. If you should die before you wake The terror spinning round you like a wheel. You can try and tell yourself that you believe it's fake When you know the screams are real, Just pray the Lord your soul to take. You put the wall up around your mind To no avail for they still come They're ghostly images That make your limbs go numb Your heart is pounding As the specter crowd surrounds your little bed You try to run away But your arms and legs are lead. If you should die before you wake The terror spinning round you like a wheel. You can try and tell yourself that you believe it's fake When you know the screams are real, Just pray the Lord your soul to take.

Feel like I'm falling Through a monster's scream No parachute No pair of wings Air rushing out of my lungs No sign of anyone Is someone calling Some voice I know Whispers carry on the wind A hundred dark echoes I bend my ear To break my doubt Turn my head To my way out I'm falling faster still Past towers, windowsills Fear nothing Fear nothing, son I'm right behind you, you're not alone Fear nothing Fear nothing, son Follow my voice all the way home There is no slowing Don't know what lies So far below me Are those fires or eyes? Now touching down Shadows of swaying trees Sword on my back Forged in belief K feel a crushing stare (Keep moving on your way) Ink and ashes in the air Fear nothing Fear nothing, son Strike sure and true, put the dragon down Fear nothing Fear nothing, son Keep fighting, you're almost here now Silence breaks Air aflame All it takes Is to be brave The end is almost here This monster's not earned your fear I fear nothing Fear nothing now The light ahead is surely home I fear nothing If i can hear you you I can feel you and i am not alone Fear nothing Fear nothing son, It's only a few more steps now Fear nothing You fear fear nothing now You're home and i'm still not sure how When you wake Try to feel the same Live life Untamed

You look like Carrot Top Mixed with the wicked witch from The Wizard of Oz I walk down the dark staircase And you’re always there to catch me in your devilish embrace As you look at me through your Groucho Marx glasses I think of how you’ve been around the world, tickling the masses Wearing a knit beret and completely dressed in black How can someone meant to make me happy make me so sad? You’re making me laugh You’re making me cry You’re such a funny guy You take me to the dollar store and purchase a potato gun And say kid, we’re gonna have some fun I try to run away, through the parking lot And the exhaust fumes hit me, but so does your starchy potato shot I fall to my knees on the cold, icy pavement You cackle your cackle, my pain’s your entertainment You cage me in your buick hearse And I don’t see how this could get any worse and then you take out a Furby You’re making me laugh You’re making me cry You’re such a funny guy You’re making me laugh But I don’t know why When all I want to do is cry This one’s to all the kids out there There’s a chilling reason as to why I’m so damn scared He’ll make you laugh so hard, until you’re out of breath But he won’t just stop there; he’ll tickle you to death You’re making me laugh You’re making me cry You’re such a funny guy You’re making me laugh But I don’t see Anything that’s funny to me

Lady in blue Creeped into my room In the dead of the night Lady in blue Her face held a solemn grace But her hands could claw and scratch my face Lady in blue She’s beautiful, the devil sure thinks so I am only a child, I am scared Running faster, faster Save me from this nightmare I am only a child, I am scared Running faster, faster Save me from this nightmare Save and sound in my bed, aren’t I? She couldn’t harm me, could she? Under the covers, She couldn’t harm me, could she? I am only a child, I am scared Running faster, faster Save me from this nightmare I am only a child, I am scared Running faster, faster Save me from this nightmare Lady in blue Make your move Make it fast Lady in blue Make your move Make it fast

When I was a lad And playtime had come to an end I'd sadly go off to bed I'd feel safe and warm Not knowing what awaited me From inside the depths of my head My dreams start off nice And often, they would stay that way But sometimes that's not the case One nightmare I had Affected me like nothing else And shook me from slumber's embrace A woman's in tears I hear a voice cut through the air Like I'm watching some bad local news It cuts to a lake And a teddy bear sits by the shore And a gator slinks off with its food It somehow gets worse But somehow I can't look away As another shot comes into view The gator leans back And a living baby's in its jaws And awkwardly, it starts to chew Then gunshots ring out And the gator's eyes bolt open wide And the bodies jerk from the blows The baby then slumps And the gator quickly follows suit And I wake up from my repose Occasionally I still can see it vividly No matter if dusk or dawn I'm thankful that I Have yet to dream that dream again Though its memories still linger on

Asphalt and heat It's been searing hot and blinding On this summer street I got back on my feet He's been chasing me Every time I turn I see him On his rusted dark machine A metal beast His musket flailing fast Conducting an orchestra of concussive blasts A bullet grazing past Muscles burning hot The gun made awful thunder as he fired another shot I had to stop ...Oh, I stopped I turned around Shouted to him as I held my ground Oh, mister monster You've been chasing me all day Is there something, anything, I can say Is there any chance I could walk away? Or have I truly found My way inside a nightmare Am I in some kind of hell where There's truly no hope for escape? And he said It's more of a carnival And you're just an animal We monsters have to have our fun too And ooh oh, there's thunder for you I'm coming for you Better run run run run run run run No hope for rest I slowed only as much as I dared just to catch my breath Or face certain death I found a parking lot Got lost among the cars and wondered How much time I bought An alarm went off Such a shrieking sound His monster snapped attention And began to bound my way I turned around I turned around My fear betrayed my plight and he stood there Savoring the sight of the Frightened little boy that he had found I looked up at him As he trained his gun I spoke again Are you some kind of demon? And he said I'm more of a cannibal and It's something mechanical Is just a part of how you made me And oh ooh, I hunger for you I'm coming for you better run run run run run run run I froze in shock Our eyes were locked As the weapon's hammer cocked I was made of rock He took aim I had to dive I tasted asphalt When the thunder came The bullet called my name A shattered spine Fleshy tatters in a jagged line And I'm I'm lying there and all I feel is Asphalt and heat It's been searing hot and blinding On this summer street I got back on my feet

Say goodnight. Time for bed. Get the light. Rest your head. Close your eyes. Go to sleep And dream... Hush-a-by baby On the tree top, When the wind blows The cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, The cradle will fall...

Images Without Light At school one day, something isn’t right Vaguely aware I’m not aware of time or light And though I’ve gone here seven years Somehow I don’t question when a brand new passageway appears With a sudden shock, I run the corridor Until my feet don’t touch the ground… anymore Momentum carries me outside I’ve travelled half a mile in one gigantic stride But now I’d really like to land And curl my toes against some carpet, soil or sand I don’t even know what I’ve been flying for And my feet don’t touch the ground… anymore It’s clear that something is amiss Remaining airborne ‘til I’m past the precipice The wind is rushing past my head And I swear that I’m awakened by the impact of my body on the bed Now I’m afraid to try to touch the floor Will my feet still touch the ground… anymore?

This place seems familiar, I don't know why, I can't remember, Hard as I try. Hallways keep on shifting, They have no end, No way of telling, What's 'round the bend. Someone's taken something, I'm not sure who, Or what they've stolen, But I purse. Escheresque distortions, Confound my way, I must press onward, No time to stay. [Chorus] Footprints everywhere, Where do they go? Who left them there? Why don't I know? I feel compelled to find answers, To all of these questions, But the answers elude me. Overlapping footprints, Strewn on the floor, Some pass right under, Walls with no door. Some just end in mid-stride, How very weird, As if their maker, Had disappeared. Prints across the ceiling, And up the wall, Where I can't reach them, Without a fall. There's no way to follow, This hopeless track. There's no way forward, And no way back. [Chorus] Footprints everywhere, Where do they go? Who left them there? Why don't I know? I feel compelled to find answers, To all of these questions, But the answers elude me.

I am running through my hallway trying to get out but there are prehistoric rabid monkeys all up in my house I make it to the back yard and run into the shed I can't tell if the screams are from outside or in my head I grab a tiny little shovel prepared to kick and fight and I feel like this will be the very last I see of light I close my eyes and try in vain wish away this hell and resign to the fact that I will die in this cell The noise, it stopped. there's no more sounds there is nothing around me for miles around My arm is broken, and my skin is burnt I wonder how I got here and got this hurt I see a black bird circle in the sky and notice some other scavengers nearby they're all coming closer now and I can't move but thanks to God I woke up when they bit through. That was a nightmare, alright.

Started with the rust people, blocks for heads with sky-blue veins like roots around clay Echo-locating through humming, vibrating Wandering wisely around the floor invisible, missing, illusion or glass Sand slipping from my scalp, falling fast Then shift to the crowded orphanage Children spilling from layered beds Overseeing them is the hollow man Light splitting through the cracks in his head Finally turning to the rubber pool of quicksand blankets of stretch-foam suffocation as I see my friends and family looking down I realize this is how I die
17.
my mother was adamant that woman was made of steel so one night she stole away said she couldn't feel my father wasn't there his jaw slack, his eyes a-glaze he awoke hard one day left the porch, the house ablaze and i tell you all of this so you can understand my mother always said there are no monsters under your bed in the closet they abide keep them there i am working my way on through my family tree of twisted branches climb on down to the tangled roots find out where my shadow dances i am looking for the answer to the question you asked me if you are always someone's monster are you ever really free and i tell you all of this so you will take my hand my mother always said there are no monsters under your bed in the closet they abide keep them there

FauX - Sleep 03:01
He had a black coat and no face He said if slept again, I never again would wake. I'm not going back in there I'm not going back in there alone I'm not going back in there I'm not going back He called me over and told me To not open my mouth He whispered these things to me And I found that I couldn't shout And I'm not going back in there He'll get me if I do Why do you say that it's not real? You laugh at me, but every word is true He said you'd be like this He said you wouldn't believe But if you heard what I heard and you felt what I felt and you saw what I have seen I'm not gonna sleep again He'd kill me if I tried You think it's funny, but you wouldn't be laughing If you were the one that's just about to die I am not going to (sleep) Going to Going to

The nightmares haunted me since just a kid. They made me want to never lift that lid. The portal to the demon underworld Opened when the toilet water whirled. Who'da thunk that my number one nightmare's number two? I dreamt, I thought when I flushed the pot I unleashed the Toilet Demons. Demons, demons, demons. I'm screamin. Toilet Demons. When I hear somebody flush that thing I dreamt a Toilet Demon got its wings. I awoke to find proof of what was unleashed: I saw the skidMark of the Beast. Who'da thunk that my number one nightmare's number two? I dreamt, I thought when I flushed the pot I unleashed the Toilet Demons. Demons, demons, demons. I'm screamin. Toilet Demons. Demons, demons, demons. Narrated by Morgan Freeman. Demons, demons, demons. I'm screamin. Toilet Demons.

The night falls when and I go to bed. The shadows fill my soul with dread Soon I extinguish my bedside light the nightlight goes on, and soon begins my fright. Out they come in 2s and 3s, and God won't hear my silent pleas to make the monsters go away All I can do is watch and wait and pray… Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Dancin to the nightlight. It's so fun to do Dancin to the nightlight. I walked into a grue Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party It all drives me so crazy - the sound making my thinking hazy, it drives me just insane They're very insistent, always consistent, and I'm resistant, but I can't escape the throbbing, the throbbing in my brain …….. Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Dancin to the nightlight. We know it's not right! Dancin to the nightlight. We can go all night! Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party I wish they'd go away. I widh they'd leave but still they stay. I turn out the light - but there's still the fright, and repeat the things they say....... I'm still scared, but that looks like it's fun. There's 9 glowing monsters and 3 on the run I'll be in big trouble, if I stay awake But who can sleep when all the walls shake? Who can sleep when all the walls shake? (Uptempo) Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Party Door open… Billy ! I told you to get to sleep! Sorry dad.

Camping out in the woods, huddled up in a ring around the fire. Dinner suspended simmering, there's a hush a hush in the air. Just cricks and cracks in that ink black night. Pale flickering arms of trees that sway without a breeze. Big Brown Bear. Big Brown Bear, took the face off my daddy dear. Big Brown Bear. Big Brown Bear, took the face off my daddy dear. Go into my momma's room. Poppa's sitting up in bed. But I won't be comforted, cause I know he's dead. Show me sugar. I like spice. Tell me, give me everything nice. I'm never gonna close my eyes. I'm never gonna close my eyes. Gonna go back in, it's gonna be all different. Wear won't get what he wants this time. Gotta fight it off, or reason with it. His fur's so dark and heartless. Big Brown Bear. Big Brown Bear, took the face off my daddy dear. Big Brown Bear. Big Brown Bear, took the face off my daddy dear. Go into my momma's room. Poppa's sitting up in bed.

I don't know how I got here. I don't know where I've been. I'm as lost as I can be. I know I need a plan. There's a man with no face. He's waving to the sky. There's a man in a plane Shoots him down like a fly. There's a maze in my mind, And I just keep on trying To find my way home. Find my way home. When a killer's coming after you, Got no choice but to run. It's the most deadly game, But you know it ain't much fun. Just jump over the creek filled with bubbling toxic waste. There's a time for contemplation, But you know this sure ain't the place. There's a maze in my mind And I just keep on trying To find my way home. Find my way home. [accordion solo] There's an invisible man with a visible brain. Just don't open your eyes when he calls out your name. And please try not to think Of what you know is true: All these horrors - these horrors They're coming out of you. There's a maze in my mind And I just keep on trying To find my way home. Find my way home.

Old Dan next door, he's a widower and I am a divorcee. At the fence he told me of his strange recurring dream. Every night attacked, by a man in black. hovering by the window in the air Scratching at the glass asks to be let in, to do some killing. What are the things that make you sweat. Rock you to the core? Are they things that you regret, and give you night terrors? MIne are things that haven't happened yet. I jumped the fence and scraped my knee Dan held his service revolver to a peach tree I turned him 180 degrees And my whispers gave him weapons to use within the seams. (Chorus) The Man in Black and the Vietcong attack with a firefight. Dan next door, and shoeless Joe reply with their bats that are made of light. The bullets ricochet like dice in a pinball machine. Dan lands a killing blow and screams a primal scream Dan next door had that dream since he was four but they ended with him the victor. And I whispered weapons in his ear because everyone needs a friends when they facing down their fears. (Chorus)

There’s something wrong here Something missing Something broken I can see my house but something isn’t right There’s something wrong here I can feel it I move closer, slowing down The school bus passes me but I stand here in fright And it is happening again I’ve had this dream before There always something broke or missing There’s no roof or there’s no door Sometimes the house is split in half Or the front of it is gone And I’m afraid to go inside But I go on There’s something wrong here We had trees once. We had flowers. Where’s the willow, pine and roses by the door There’s something wrong here Where is my father? There are strangers all around Where did the kitchen go? There are splinters on the floor And it is happening again I’ve had this dream before There’s always someone who is missing There’s always glass shards on the floor Now that my home is split in half Now that my father’s gone There is no safety here for me But I go on I am afraid of what I’ll see But I go on My house is waiting there for me But I’ll go on…

Mum read you see the same stars So I will pick the brightest one I make a wish and hold it dear When I awake you will be near To let me know its safe for dreams 'Cause for me, for now it seems to Bring about your demise The darkness whispers wicked lies That seem true through shattered eyes I'm not ready for goodbyes So please be here when I wake up I've seen your grave one thousand times In foreign sands beneath red skies My dreams are filled with smoke and flames From inside these window pane I watch your war on TV And the fears grow inside me But I know that dreams aren't real So I close my eyes to make the worst untrue So come nightmare, come to me Keep your horrors from reality Fill my night with fear These nightmares insincere I will try to be brave If Daddy, you will come home
27.
It was a nicer dream that quickly went astray My gentle consciousness keeps pleasant thoughts away I feel cold clammy hands denying me of air I kick and scream and shout but there’s nobody there I feel my lungs go dry my breath just doesn’t last The world gets darker I can feel it fading fast The whole world fades I’ll be erased And I descend Is this the end Oh dear lord please have mercy on my soul I feel the deathly hands gently let me go I know that it wants blood and that blood is mine I feel an awful chill running down my spine I can hear a breathing and I know that it’s near Death and heavy footfalls is all I can hear I cannot look behind me there’s no question why All that I can do is just run and cry I have to keep on running ‘cause I don’t wanna see The horrid twisted face of what wants to kill me And I want out Let me out So I scream Scream and Shout I can hear it coming ‘cause it’s right behind I just need a place that is hard to find I’ll just close my eyes and sit and pray Please somebody turn this night to day And I want out Let me out So I scream Scream and shout

Could it be? Im not as good as I think I am Do I see? As a blind man sees a precious gem? Beaster Bunny Comes to your house if you've thrown a fit It's not funny He comes to your house and breaks all your shit Beaster Bunny's coming to town And when your bas ass is starting to frown He's in your house breaking all of your shit Watching all year, no way to acquit Watching all year, no way to acquit Here I stand With colored eggs as an offering Hope he understands That I will stop my meandering

Come, and learn life's true way None of us are here to stay Son, listen when I say Know that you will die someday Time's always running out Hours and days rush by To say I'm not scared would be a lie The uncertainty of when Not knowing why So fear the reaper and wait to die I once was led astray I wasted days like a child at play But now I've put childish things away For I know that I will die someday.

Where's the buzzing? In my ear, turn to look, but nothing's there Maybe I misheard, no There it is again, where's the buzzing? Are they hiding? In the sheets, in the cracks, I can hear it I can't see it, but I can hear it Where's the buzzing? Shut my eyes, waiting Try to sleep, waiting Breathe in, breathe out Buzzing in my ear, swat it Where's the buzzing? Just try to play, try to live, try to sleep Not tonight, no sleep tonight Instead I'm waiting, watching, listening for the buzzing Nothing's safe, nowhere to go, nowhere to hide No escape, no escape Not even when I'm awake I can't hide from my monster, my monster's real And it's buzzing.

Verse 1: Jason just holes out in his room He listens to music that embraces his gloom He tries to be proud by playing it too loud All across the house it booms His dad comes home from where he's employed The noise makes him become annoyed He knocks on the door but he is ignored His frustration is deployed Chorus: Can you please have some respect? Or did you just forget That you'll live here til your grown? Jason says shut up dad Stop getting so mad And just leave me alone Verse 2: Jason gets back from another day at school He's spent so much time trying to be cool But all of his grades have seen better days Now he's come across as a fool His dad says he should pay attention much more Listen to the teacher and don't get so bored Jason, do well so that you can excel Please study, like you did before Chorus: Can you please have some respect? Or did you just forget You can do well all on your own? Jason says shut up dad Stop getting so mad And just leave me alone Bridge: Jason's called to the office one day during class They tell him that he should sit down His dad had been driving a little too fast Lost control, drove into a lake, and drowned Chorus: Why didn't I have some respect? I'll never forget The way I let you down I'm sorry for putting you through All those things that did hurt you But now I'm left alone
