On the Other Side

Basement dice still on the floor

Fireball never lands

Bikes cut fast through Mirkwood trails

Flashlights in our hands

Same streets, different sky

Cold where daylight dies

Something listening in the walls

Every sound replies

On the other side

Something waits

On the other side

Something hates

Same house

Turned inside out

On the other side

There are monsters about

Blood in water pulls it close

No face at the door

Long arms scraping through the dark

Ceilings aren’t safe anymore

Adults say it’s nothing wrong

They don’t hear the sound

We believe what we can’t see

That’s how this gets found

On the other side

Something waits

On the other side

Something hates

Same house

Turned inside out

On the other side

There are monsters about

Power flickers

Lights behave

Like they’re trying

To explain

One for yes

Two for no

Letters flicker

Nice and slow

RIGHT HERE

RUN

On the other side

Still alive

On the other side

Hold the line

Friends don’t lie

Stay together

On the other side

Fight the terror
