I see him in the shadows at night,
Yellow eyes that shine so bright
He keeps me company while I cry
I don't know why I hate my life.

I asked the sheep why does he come
To visit me when I'm alone,
He said "I'll make you happy son
Just follow me into the unknown"

He enticed me with his promises,
A bargain I kept by slitting my wrists
And all the hopeless thoughts there is
I lost them all. I got my wish.

When daddy heard the news that day
That mama found my body laid,
He cursed his God, but then he prayed
"Dear Lord, why take my boy away?"

Under umbrellas, my family cried
As the service lined up side by side,
And until the day they died,
They questioned why I took my life.

As for the sheep, he haunts the sleep
Of those that dream of only bleak,
To feed off the curdling shrieks
Of those that know only his bleat.
