Monsters Next Door

Creeping shadows, whispers in the night

Behind closed doors, there's a brewing fright

Footsteps echo, heartbeats roar

Who can you trust? Fear thy neighbor next door.

Curtain twitching, a flicker of light

A silhouette lurking, prowls out of sight

Misunderstanding, a tangled lore

Hope is fading, fear is what we adore.

We built these walls to hide away

But secrets linger where children play

Behind the smiles, a chilling core,

Innocence fades, it's a total war.

Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,

Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score

In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,

Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.

Kids in the playground, unaware of the strife,

While whispers convene under the cover of life

Glimpses of kindness, a sly little trick,

The dagger’s edged, it’s ready to stick.

We smile in the day, but darkness will creep,

Old fears awaken, nothing's as it seems

Behind the gates, watchful eyes explore,

Searching for secrets while we all ignore.

Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,

Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score

In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,

Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.

Whispers turn to shouting, the line is now crossed,

Trust has been shattered, all hope seems lost

In this twilight zone, we must decide,

To stand up and fight or to run and hide.

Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,

Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score

In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,

Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.

Behind the laughter, darkness looms tall,

Fear thy neighbor, it echoes in the hall

As the sun sinks low, they gather at the door,

With smiles so sweet, they’re monsters in lore.
