It's so empty in here
alone in the school
Usually you hear the shuffling of feet
Not now
It's a different world
Doors are locked
Lights are out
You hear nothing
But you can hear something
And it's the sound of nothing
A breeze flows through
Causing you to shiver
That's the first noise you've heard in hours
No one is with you
The shadows beckon you for restless dreams
You never knew the scares hidden
Inside those shiny old walls
School is not what you think
Full of hidden secrets
It's heard every secret
Every whisper …
You hear a door creak.
