I had to lock my doors,

There was no end in sight

From the horrors that played

In the cold of the night

I no longer wished, nor did I care

As long as I, was safely where

They never can find me, I’m hiding

Those voices inside of me, chiding

Tried to lure me out, with a hideous shout

Oh, the terror was just not subsiding

So I’m stuck behind this wooden door

I’ve no choice, I have to stay

Here, no one else can find me

And I like it, just that way
