It's me three am
How tragic we meet again
Oh I see it's keeping you awake?
That silly thing inside your head.
Don't you wish you could turn it off?
I don't have that issue see... I am but a number on a clock
Don't let that fool you though my power does run deep
For I'm the witching hour and trust me you aren't suppose to be
"I don't want to be so please make it stop"
Child no one wants to be awake this late
besides the phantoms of the night

You again ? why it's been three days poor child have you slept at all ?
" I can't, I want to so desperately"
What a shame don't humans require rest?
"They do but it wont stop, I want it to stop"
What happens if you go too long?
"My mind is already playing tricks on me 3 I cant quite decipher what is real or not"
Well clearly child your talking to a number on the clock
"please oh please just make it stop"

"3 are you there?"
Yes child I am here,
but you I fear are not.
"what do you mean"
I mean you finally made it stop
" I am asleep then ? "
Yes sweet child, incessantly.
