I Am There Behind
Running inside and bolting the door
Is not going to hide you
Shutting the windows and drawing the curtains
Will not obscure my view
Calling your family and staying your dog
Is all but hopeless too
The best you can do is come out to me
I promise I won’t hurt you
Curling up under pillow and blanket
Will not keep you from me
Turning off the lights and hiding in darkness
Is useless for I can still see
Hopping a plane or a train or a boat
Is ludicrous for I’ll swim from sea to sea
The best you can do is give yourself up
I promise I’ll try not to hurt you
Running and screaming will do no good
And for what reason I know why
Holding a child in defense as a shield
Is funny for it would cry
The police are too scared to try and find me
So why do you even dare?
The best you can do is come to me
I cannot promise anything
No bones will break, no blood will spill
I cannot guarantee
You won’t be scared, I won’t feel bad
It’s all fun for me
When corpses hang and spirits rise
Up from the dead man’s grave
Turn around if you are so brave
I am right behind
When corpses hang and spirits rise
Up from the cursed gold
Turn around if you are so bold
I am there behind
