It

I’m creeping up the stairsStill so lostWill you think its fair?Not the costWaiting for my chanceDon’t want thisNothing for you to glanceJust a hissBut soon I will strikeSay goodnightThere will be no fightSmiling at spitePrepare for my endStill drowningOut of time to spendNo accountingSo with your time now doneSaid nothingYou are just long goneStill running
