Can you see the pain in my heart?
I feel so worthless here
All the pain in the world pulls me apart
The problems are too clear
And I had to be the hero
Show the children what it is to be good
But it doesn't matter now
All my hope is lost, oh oh
'Cause the children know.
There's a peeper in the darkness
There's a pimple on his nose, oh oh
He's standing with a knife now
He's after the children, oh oh
But the children know.
There's a monster in under the bed now
With sharp teeth and claws, oh oh
It's reaching up the mattress
Trying to hold, oh oh
And the children know.

And when I fight to save them
The army of darkness takes my soul
And I am left to wonder
What the children know

There's a killer inside of me now
And he's trying to break out, oh oh
He's waited for an eternity
And he's broken loose, oh oh
Now the children know.
I feel myself changing now
To something horrible, oh oh
I not myself anymore
I've changed my form, oh oh
Yet the children know.

And when I start to kill them
The army of darkness will take hold
But I will always wonder
What the children know.
