Shhh !
Scratchy scattering sounds I'm hearing again
In the dark from above inside the ceiling
Creeping noise that's driving me insane
Goosebumps I am uncontrollably revealing
Shush ! listen it's something crawling
Open eyes spy a pinhole light
Catching spiraling dust that is falling
Obscuring my vision of intruders sight
Blah ! blowing dust away
I heard it disappearing
I'm glad it didn't want to stay
Hope it doesn't plan on returning
