[verse 1]
Home alone inside that fortress
Feeble lights to ward away the darkness
Shadows dance along the hallway
Voices whisper can you hear what they say
Through the door you hear me breathing
Let me in you know I'm really starving
For some company I'm lonely
Open up that door and come play with me
[bridge]
Claws and sparks we'll find you in the dark
With our metal teeth gnashing
And springs and coils smashing
Don't look now don't even ask me how
What was once a friend's scary
He'll stalk you now how dare he
[Chorus]
Check the closet check the doors
Don't have a clue what he's coming for
Watch the shadows watch the bed
Don't think he'll stop until you are dead
[verse 2]
Use your ears this lesson's vital
Echoes through the dark cue your survival
You may think the light will guide you
But shine it in my face and I will bite you
[bridge]
Fangs and maws we'll grasp you in our claws
With our wicked eyes burning
Our joints and gears turning
It's too late you can't outrun your fate
Friendly faces turn frightening
Your little chest starts tightening
[Chorus]
Check the closet check the doors
Don't have a clue what he's coming for
Watch the shadows watch the bed
Don't think he'll stop until you are dead
[verse 3]
Oh so young why such things would happen
Innocence should not be slain
Tears remorse for what has been broken
Pull the plug this can't happen again
Oh so young why such things would happen
Innocence should not be slain
Tears remorse for what has been broken
Pull the plug this can't happen again
[Chorus redux]
Checked the closet checked the doors
Don't have a clue what he came here for
Watched the shadows watched the bed
He should have stopped before you were
Please forgive me
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry...
