I’ve been playing backgammon
With my eyes on the floor
Facing myself hiding
Stay while I play the pawn
I don’t like when they come and stare
I don’t like when they try to tear me away
I’ve been seeing monsters
At 3am they come out and twirl my hair
Shivering, I know they’re waiting
Put the blanket over my head and face the wall
I don’t like when they come and stare
I don’t like when they try to tear me away
Tear me down
Tear me up
I don’t like when they come and stare
I don’t like when they try to tear me away
