Sandman

Oh little children

So small and so sweet

I come with the darkness

You to greet

 

I\'m inside your pillow

Like the drone of flies

I smell like flesh rotting

Don\'t open your eyes

 

I\'m under your bed

In the dark of the night

I come out of the cellar

I\'m the shadow of fright

 

I wait in your closet

Until you\'re asleep

To crawl under your covers

Your breath to keep

 

I\'ll burrow under your skin

Lay eggs while you rest

When the larva hatch

They\'ll burst out of your chest

 

I\'ll bore into your ear

To get inside your head

To steal your dreams

To bring back the dead

 

Years of your life

With your soul I\'ll eat

Suck up your warmth

Gag you with your sheet

 

See the goose flesh

Do you feel cold?

Crippled and stiff

I look so old

 

My skin is wrinkled

My hair matted and white

Come closer little one

Are you afraid I\'ll bite?
