Curled up under my blanket I hold Teddy tightly against me I hope that tonight, he will protect me My eyes staring at this damned screen The one that makes me a servant My cabin engulfed by darkness I whisper a story to Teddy If he's asleep, he cannot see I heard a noise coming from the corridor Then nothing, a dreadful silence Heads up, I flash a glance The gate remains sealed For now, I'm safe I was a good boy today, I hope it will not come Even if it comes, my cotton shield shall protect me And Teddy will say the magic words "Boogeyman! Go away and never come back" Teddy approves and smiles back at me His sweet paw resting on my cheek An awful smell reaches me Cigarettes, fucking cigarettes The smoke announces its coming It flows through the door lock The air turns putrid The air is putrid The gate slams open A yellow light flooding the room Burning my shield away Its threatening form appears Black as coil, black as night I cannot see its face Another night of torment Its shadow swallows me whole Diving into me, going back and forth It hurts It grips my head, I'm forced to lick the slit That acid taste burns Teddy watches - please don't cry Teddy watches - please stop crying Why are you doing this to me? Why are you doing this to me, mom?
