The shadows are taking over,

Can you see them coming nearer?

The darkness in the skies,

Or the cracks in the mirror?

No one knows just yet

We're all living in a masquerade.

So many people put on a mask

And we don't know to be afraid.

The monsters are still here,

The ones from when you were a child.

You were told they live in your closet,

But they've escaped and grown wild.

The monsters of the world are hiding,

But no longer under your bed.

They aren't in your closets,

They're in the people around you instead.
