Woke up last night with this insane idea that had taken over my mind.
All alone with nothing there
Walking solo, hear a sound
Is that my name? I turn around
Someone called me, nothing's there

I'm still alone, but what was here?
Back to walking, faster now
Again, I hear a silent sound
Footsteps, footsteps but not mine

Take three-sixty, turn around
Still nothing there to make a sound
It was there, right there, just then
It makes a sound, then fades to air

What is it, this it I hear?
At a sprint, I have to go
Faster, faster, don't look back
Nothing's there, it's in my head

Just keep running straight ahead
Then comes a laugh, a btter snicker
I know it's there, but then it's not
Still what's this it? I'm just so scared

Time again to take a look
Over my shoulder and all around
Voices, laughter, evil sounds
But still alone and nothing to see

Nothing's there, I tell myself
Nothing's there, again and again
Outside my house, now near escape
These sounds I hear will meet their fate

What's that I saw at the side of my eye?
Someone's out there watching me
I know I saw it, it was there
Now back to it, what can it be?

Shivers up and down my spine
I feel it here, it's just right here
Crawling, biting, they're all over
Please go away, just leave me be

Inside my house and out of breath
My screams and cries of pain and fear
They all just stare, just stand and stare
Do they not get that something's there?

No, don't be stupid, nothing's there
Yes there is, I felt and saw and even heard it
It was here, it followed me
Again I hear the bitter laughing

Fade to black, these voices follow
Open my eyes and nothing's here
No color, fear, no sounds nor shadows
Just bright white walls, there's nothing here

Where am I now? Am I alone?
No, they're coming, have to go!
No I can't! There's no way out
Escapes and exits out of sight

Just sitting here, and trapped inside
A small white box, and nothing's there
Yes they are, they followed me
Demons, monsters, maybe ghosts?

I'm not sure what to think anymore
No, no one's here, you've gone insane
Who's that? Who's here? Just please don't speak!
Just let me out, please let me go!

I need to run, I have to hide!
I hear them coming, they're still laughing
No, just stop and look around
You scared them all, your family and friends

They sent you here, you've lost your mind
No, they're real, they're all rght here!
No, nothing's there, just close your eyes
No, I can't, there's something there.
