lyrics

Existential dread
Gets into your head
Gets into your bed with you

Awful little thoughts
Tie you up in knots
Everybody's got a few

Endless are the nights
Filling you with frights
'Til you turn the lights back on

Reoccurring pains
Driving you insane
You're here but yet your brain is gone

When you turn around
There's nothing to be found
There's nothing pulling down on you

Nothing like a ghost
The horror show you host
That leaves your mind the most to do

If I shook you now
Would it get you out
Or would you only shout at me?

Are you in a dream
Or somewhere in between?
It's never what it seems to be

And you know that there's no one there
But you still get scared sometimes
And you know that it's in your mind
Push it right back through the blinds

Cotton are the sheets
Tugging at your feet
And you are caught in something else

I can never love
Anyone enough
To drag them back from out of hell

Take another breath
You'll scare yourself to death
There's no one here but you and I

Try and take control
'Cause you're the only soul
That fits the hole your head's inside

No one else will know
The places that you go
When you're going down and down (down and down)

Words cannot explain
You're in a hurricane
That keeps you going round and round (round and round)

I prefer the day
If we both could stay
If the sun could rise again

We'd never know the fear
That always finds us here
When the day is at an end

And you know that there's no one there
But you still get scared sometimes (sometimes, sometimes)
And you know that it's in your mind
Push it right back through the blinds (push it through the blinds)

And you know that there's no one there
But you still get scared sometimes (sometimes, sometimes)
And you know that it's in your mind
Push it right back through the blinds
