You laugh - stop laughing,

I lack in self-esteem,

Too little - too late,

No one will find us here, 

Pointed fingers at painted faces, 

Don't think twice - just point and scream,

I bleed under makeup while entertaining the fool,

You laugh - stop laughing; you stop - stop laughing,

I sleep in you - now death hunts,

I'm the monster in your closet when there is no front door,

oh how that sounds so sweet: the bat to dumb cranium,

Angry shadows caress corners,

Come out to play - we'll kiss the floor,

So soft to the touch it makes the world frantic,

Come out to play - stop laughing,

Stop laughing...
