Freaking Me Out

Lyrics

Intro
Tick in the wall
I know that sound
It knows my name
And it stays around

Verse 1
Three knocks low
On the other side
I froze in place
When the room went wide
My shadow moved
A step too late
I saw my face
Wear the wrong shape
Cold on my tongue
Like metal rain
Every small thing
Started saying my name

Pre-Chorus
Don’t look back
It likes that
Hold your breath
It’s right there at your back
If I blink once
It gets in
If I say your name
It comes again

Chorus
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
It’s in my skin now
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
Hear that soft sound? (freaking me out)
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
I can’t shut it down

Verse 2
I seen the lamp
Start to sway on time
Like somebody else
Was pulling the line
Cabinet door
Came open slow
No hand, no wind
Just a sickly glow
My phone lit up
With a blank white screen
Then a voice came through
From inside my dream
It said stay still
You’re almost mine
Then my own mouth smiled
At the same exact time

Breakdown
Hush
Hush
Hear it crawl
Under the floor
Through the wall
Not alive
Not a lie
But it wants
What I deny

Verse 3
Now every hallway
Feels too long
Every little crack
Holds a song
I lock the door
It unlocks back
I count my steps
It counts mine exact
You say my name
I flinch and grin
Like something ancient
Wants back in
If I sound cold
That’s not me
There’s another breath
Where my breath should be

Bridge
Say it softer
Don’t feed it sound
It learns your fear
And wears it down
I tried to leave
But the space stayed near
Like a second skin
Made out of fear

Chorus
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
It’s in my skin now
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
Hear that soft sound? (freaking me out)
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
I can’t shut it down

Outro
Tick in the wall
Fade to black
I turned around
It turned me back
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
Freaking me out
