Scary Story Lyrics

Tucked in my bed, I curl my toes in

So that the beast, won't run away with them

I feared his wicked breath

I feared he'd make me laugh

So I curled into a ball and waited till he left

But then my mother told me

You'll be okay, it's just a story

I fear the bells of war, so I keep my eyes shut tight

Behind a soundproof door with artificial light

But when the static seeps in and the screams aren't my own

There's fingers on my lids, trying to keep them closed

But then the tv tells me

You'll be okay, it's just a story

But you grow up and it's still hard to sleep

But when I was young it was easier to believe

That if I'm untouched it can still be scary

You grow up and it's still hard to sleep

You grow up and it's still hard to sleep

You grow up and it's still hard to sleep

Why am I up if it's just a story
