Hugo - Vespertina

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 3 AM 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

Oh, if I had known

I would’ve played the pawn…
