shuffle
it's creeping up behind you
shuffling by your side
stepping out beside you
ain't nowhere to hide
waiting 'round the corner
hiding 'round the bend
sitting in the back seat
you think you're safe and then
it comes shuffling in the back door
climbing up the stair
hiding in the wardrobe
ain't never goin' in there
lying under your bed
keeping you awake
close your eyes and try to sleep
say a prayer for your sake
always waiting
fear creating
just shuffling in your mind
shadows on the curtain
strange kinda light
creaking noises on the floor
senses taking flight
freaky chill sensation
up and down your spine
shivering in the blackness
waiting for a line
all of your awareness
heightens with each sound
every single inch of skin
tingles from the ground
eyes are fully open
imagining weird things
sweat breaks out all over
the clock in the hallway rings
always waiting
fear creating
just shuffling in your mind
waiting for the mornng
praying for the dawn
daylight takes the fear away
but it won't be long
till it's back beside you
all along the street
unknown faces smile at you
hands stretched out to greet
sitting at your work place
wondering what's that sound?
follows everywhere you go
shuffling around
even when you're drinking
with some friends inside a bar
sitting in a taxi
or in someone else's car
always waiting
fear creating
shuffling in your mind
always waiting
fear creating
shuffling in your mind
