[Verse 1] Midnight strikes, the time ticks fast A freeze inside that's made to last Under the bed I hold my breath A breathing shadow close to death I feel something waiting out the door A rising shade upon the floor [Pre-Chorus] Click, clack, handle starts to shake Racing heart, about to break That dark door is opening wide Nowhere left for me to hide! [Chorus] In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! my eyes wide open, I can't pause it! Tick-tock, hear the knock, it's alive! One, two, three... will I survive? [Post-Chorus] Shadow on the floor—(Watch out!) Knocking at the door—(Can't shout!) In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! (Yeah, in the closet!) [Verse 2] Blood-red eyes behind the coats Freezing hands around our throats This nightmare never fades away The whole room starts to dance and sway [Pre-Chorus] Click, clack, handle starts to shake Racing heart, about to break That dark door is opening wide Nowhere left for me to hide! [Chorus] In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! my eyes wide open, I can't pause it! Tick-tock, hear the knock, it's alive! One, two, three... will I survive? [Post-Chorus] Shadow on the floor—(Watch out!) Knocking at the door—(Can't shout!) In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! (Yeah, in the closet!) [Bridge] Wide awake, it's not a dream, oh no It's waiting there, I know, I know... Count to four, out of sight Lifts the sheets—a scream into the night! [Woman screaming] [Chorus] In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! my eyes wide open, I can't pause it! Tick-tock, hear the knock, it's alive! One, two, three... will I survive? In the dark, in the dark, in the closet! my eyes wide open, I can't pause it! Tick-tock, hear the knock, it's alive! One, two, three... will I survive? [Outro] [Whisper] Still waiting... In the closet... [woman screaming] [Fade Out]
