The house creaks I yelled at them all
But they look at me like I was off the wall
I swear to it wait till tonight to see
Instead of sleep, live this terrible fantasy

So we waited till night without going to bed
I stayed up with the moon and read and read
And sure enough as the clock struck 12
I could hear the floor start squeaking and the opening of a valve.

I looked over to my friends, to prove them wrong
But they were all snoring together like a song
I leaped up in fear for what I knew would come
I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and began to run

Open the door, then shut it all the way
And sat in my bed praying for the day
I could hear the creaks come right up to my door
Creak, Crack, boom and up ripped the floor

Wind blew fast all around my face
Wood smacked my head and blinded me like mace
The laughing started and a hand came from the ground
Grabbing my leg I began, to scream, kick and pound

Why won’t they wake I’m going to be dead
The hole begins to grow and the arm pulls me from the bed
I try to grab anything, but nothing is there to raid
I reach into my pocket and find a razor blade

I cut the arm and book it for the door
But the arm grabs me and throws me to the floor
I smack my head hard as I hit the ground
And slowly my vision is black and loose all sounds

John, John Wake up man its time for work
I scream, I yell they look at me like I’m berserk
They laugh at my story and I put my fists up to fight
They look at me and laugh and say I was asleep by 12 that night
