Howling breaks the silence,
Vultures and the spiders,
Footsteps on the roof,
And that's not nearly all,
Wolves are close behind us,
They're always breathing down my bony neck,
"child, shut your eyes and pray that god makes them leave",
A fear washes over me,
And I need to know,

Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces,
Will you listen to me as I'm falling to pieces,

Will you stand here right beside,
I truly hear things in the night,
I'm always hiding under mattresses and now I'll never come out,
I'll never get up,
I heard the doctor say there's some kind of drug,
That makes it always birthday morning, halloween, and christmas day,
That I'll take until my white old age,
But I need to know,
Just what to do now,

Will you be there for me when I fall to pieces,
Will you listen to me as I'm falling to pieces,
Will you sing me to sleep when my ears won't stop ringing,
Or will you whisper to me pretty lies as you're leaving,
Will you be there for me,
I truly hear things in the night (be there for me),
I truly hear things in the nighttime alone (be there for me)
