There are things, there are creatures about With big hands and cavernous mouths That's what I'm afraid of these days
I pulled the wings off a bat today I saw myself in her as she limped away That's what I'm afraid of these days
There are things, things that only I see There are creatures, and they're out to get me That's what I'm afraid of these days
Glued some wings to the back of a spider Looked up for validation, but I could not find it No one's more scared than I am these days
Say it 'cause I can see it You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? Cue the music 'cause this speaker is scaring the kids
The children are trembling, Rightfully so, rightfully so
Pray tell me again Because there's a nest in my ear And one behind my eyes
Obscurity and his family Are having their fun with my poor mind They've made a mess of my vision And a mess of my sight I should have seen friends
Say it 'cause I can see it You've got the look of a believer on trial So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? Cue the music 'cause this speaker is scaring me
The children are trembling Rightfully so, rightfully so
Say it 'cause I can see it You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long? Cue the lights because the darkness is taking its toll
