Lingering Static

There’s a light beneath the door

Counting softly, one, two,

four

Every shadow knows my name

Every mirror plays the same

I feel the room breathe in

I feel the walls grow thin

Batshit crazy in the midnight glow

Dancing with the thing that only I can know

Batshit crazy, let the bad dream spin

If the dark is calling,

I’ll let it in (shhh)

Blue light crawling up the stairs

Cold hands combing through my hair

Someone laughing down the hall

No one’s there,

but I hear it all

I feel the room breathe in

I feel the walls grow thin

Hush now, don’t wake it Close your eyes,

don’t fake it Heartbeat,

floor shake One more step,

wide awake

Batshit crazy in the midnight glow

Dancing with the thing that only I can know

Batshit crazy, let the bad dream spin

If the dark is calling,

I’ll let it

in

Let it

in

Let it in Let it in
