[Verse]
Shadows stretch long, creeping out the cracks,
Underneath the bed where the nightmares stack.
Teeth click-clack, echo in the void,
A lullaby of fear, every dream destroyed.
Moonlight bends, whispers in the air,
Feet on the floorboards, but nobody there.
Breath like frost, he’s colder than the grave,
A dance in the dark, no soul to save.
[Chorus]
The Boogeyman waltz, hear the rhythm, it sways,
He steals your dreams, drags the light away.
Tiptoe, tiptoe, he comes to play,
No one escapes when the shadows obey.
[Verse 2]
Door creaks slow, hinge screams regret,
Silhouettes crawl where the fears are set.
Blanket won’t save, pillow won’t hide,
He’s the murmur in the closet, waiting inside.
Hands like smoke, fingers weave the gloom,
Pulling kids from their beds to an endless tomb.
Sings in a tone no ears can take,
Promises of freedom, all lies, all fake.
[Bridge]
Clock hands stop, tick-tock suspended,
Reality twists, the rules upended.
He hums in the dark, a melody chilling,
Every step he takes, another soul unwilling.
