lyrics

I used to be so scared as a child, of the corridor that was leading to my bedroom.
I would just run in the dark to get back to my bed as soon as possible.
Fearing monsters or even worse… could get me… in that corridor.
In the dark I worried there wasn’t a floor.
That I would just drop into nothingness.
I couldn’t see in the blackness to find my way and I would blindly reach for the walls to touch,
to feel for the wooden frame of a door,
grasp with fingers outstretched for the sensation of the wallpaper,
its pattern raised like braille to help guide me.
The darkness haunted me with its shapes and textures - that texture that darkness has -
and I could feel the presence there of something, of someone.
Others.
I wasn’t supposed to be there. The darkness was theirs.
And though I couldn’t see them, could only feel them behind me, I knew I didn’t belong.
Hardly able to breath, careful not to make a sound, I would creep along.
And when at last a sliver of light appeared so I could see the floor beyond me, I would run.
I would run and run and run.
