late at night
when i'm in my bed
i hear a voice
in my head

i know what it is
it's the flat man
trying to get in

i can't run away
i'll fall over
my heart is racing
time's getting older

his long bony fingers
tap on the window
i can here him now
"let me come in"

he shakes my window
thta's what it is
my teeth are chatering
he' getting in

it shakes my hands
it's eats my brain
i can't get away now
i'm not the same

i forget my friends
and my family
the ones i love
lord can you help me?

it won't go away
i feel like crying
the pains intence
lord am i dying

oh the flat man, he got in
i can't breathe i can't think, but my brain is racing around in my head
there's nothing i can do
a long time ago when i a kid my grand father gave me a book called The Flat Man. it was a childrens book by Moria Kemp about a little boy who's scared of the flat man comming in his room at night and getting him. my grandfather was diagnosed with parcensence disease when i was young and in my early teens the sickness started to take it's tole on his health. "the flat man" was written for my grandfather. the flat man, symbolizing the disease, ended up getting to my grandfather and he died in april of 2oo4.
"the flat man" a tribute to him though it is a more dark song. but as the second song that i had written i wasn't very sure of how else to personify this cosmic being (the song).
