You can try
to hide, play
hide and seek.
But the beast
won’t go to sleep…

You can lock
up your closet,
check well under
your bed.
But the beast
won’t go to sleep…

You can deny it,
make pretend,
act as if you don’t see it.
But the beast
Won’t go to sleep…

The only question
being, is it fair
to try to resist it?
Because the beast
won’t go to sleep.

The beast,
Won’t go to sleep.
