If I told you what I've seen
You'd think that I was just dreaming
I feel insane right now
You call for help but no one comes
Oh, god, is this the end?
Am I done?
But I'm too young, they say
Twenty-one and on the run

I’ve been having that same dream
The one where I’m in that strange house
(Have I been lost here before? I’m nauseous from the pattern on the floor. I’ve tried to figure it out but there’s no meaning in the writing on the walls. The paint is cracked, peeling, and I can feel them closing in)
Every room reminds me of you
But you are nowhere to be found
(I feel like I know you as you’ve known me but you’re full of secrets and sometimes my arms bend back. My teeth litter the ground like leaves in November and every word that I spit out is backwards)
I’ve been searching around
It’s like you’ve been sucked up through the ground
I can’t take another look around this forsaken town
Where I can’t hear a sound
Have I been lost here before?
I’m nauseous from the pattern on the floor
I want to believe I’ll wake out of this fever dream
It’s got its hold on my soul
Like I swallowed it whole
I can’t sweat it out
When the terror strikes
In the dead of night
I could swear you’re there
Somewhere in the light
When the terror strikes
In the dead of night
I could swear you’re there
Somewhere in the light

Darling, please, don’t leave
My shirt’s dried from your nosebleed
We’re safe as far as I can see
You can hide in my basement
I’ll build a fort out of blankets
And you can practice your telepathy
We can lay low in this cabin
I’ll set up traps to catch the bad man
If they come creeping around
I’ll toast your waffles
We can watch your favorite movies all day long
And when you get mad at me
You can shatter every window with your mind
I keep lying awake at night
Staring at strips of moonlight on the ceiling
Waiting for you to pick up on this frequency
Hello, can you hear me?
I talk to you every night
I’m out here, stuck in the woods
I saw you in the gymnasium with another girl
And I hated it
I hate it hear
I feel so upside down
I keep lying awake at night
Staring at strips of moonlight on the ceiling
Waiting for you to pick up on this frequency

Time's Up

You had to know I would come for you
Your days have been numbered since they exposed the truth
Those days you kept me in the dark
Held me down underwater
Said you’d make me better
You ignited a spark
You can try but you won’t escape
I’ll give you a head start but you won’t get far away
Bet you regret what you started
You’ll spend your days watching
Over your shoulder
You’ll always wonder if I’m inching closer
You looked so scared the last time I saw you
You’d better get used to it
I’m not gonna quit
You can try but you won’t escape
I’ll give you a head start but you won’t get far away
One of these days you are going to break
I’ll turn the tables
Go on and take the bait
I can bide my time
Until you let your guard down
And just when you feel safe
You will hear a sound
It could be tonight or maybe years from now
But you are gonna pay for this sick obsession
Someday, somehow
You could try but you won’t escape
I’ll give you a head start but you won’t get far away
One of these days you are going to break
I’ll turn the tables
Go on and take the bait

When I finally dig you out from under my skin
I'll be praying to a god I don't think I believe in anymore
That my wounds will heal before you can scratch through the surface again
Maybe I could cheat death
Explore this earth to no end
And I’ll try to forget you
But I fear you're like a cigarette
I'll give you up and like the smoke stuck in my clothes you’ll weave your way back in
Into my thoughts
Into my plans
Oh, it’s out of my hands
But if you weren’t a part of me
I’d wake up from this fever dream
I could be free
I’ll return someday
To who I was before I got stuck in your gaze
Before I felt so diseased
Before you had your hold on me
When I’m living my best life
Please don’t find me
Not like the last time
When I’m living my best life
You won’t find me
This is the last time
