Don't Stay

Now, before sleep takes you away
remember to come back. Don't stay.
If you wander too far away,
you'll become prey. You'll become prey.

Too what, you ask? Eyes open wide.
Well the boogeyman and others hide
with grim intentions, in your mind.
Deep, deep inside. Deep, deep inside.

They can do such devilish things.
Make you a puppet on tight strings
over a pit of snakes with wings.
Their hisses sing. Their hisses sing.

To come back, all you've got to do
is give yourself a pinch. Push through
the doors of sleep to a new
sky of pale blue. Sky of pale blue.
