Terror
from Brute Neighbors by Terrible Buttons
lyrics
There is a man in my house, face painted brown
He sits in papa's chair, as his friends skip up the stairs
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
CHildren of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Shadow puppets dance on her forehead
As they lean over her side of the bed
They paint her face like an actress
Til brother reaches under the matress
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them
Precious son, oh what have you done?
I thought I hid my gun
I am the man in your house
Wont you let me look around?
Call me lover once again
I said no I'll call you friend
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
He sits in papa's chair, as his friends skip up the stairs
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
CHildren of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Shadow puppets dance on her forehead
As they lean over her side of the bed
They paint her face like an actress
Til brother reaches under the matress
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them
Precious son, oh what have you done?
I thought I hid my gun
I am the man in your house
Wont you let me look around?
Call me lover once again
I said no I'll call you friend
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
Beautiful cowards that keep us afraid of closing our eyes at night
Children of darkness, the absence of light brings them to life
