Alone In The Dark

from A Reason To Leave by Smokin' Rings

lyrics

Still, in the middle of the night.
They told me they'd be back around five,
But I can't keep track of the time.
Static creeping in and
I'm finally feeling it.
Tie me to the ceiling, try waking up.
Or breaking out of my senses,
I can't win this, maybe if I keep re-reading
Your last message,
Halt this visitation of a spirit,
Made from my anxiety, inside of me,
I'm trying to sleep,

But something's coming, I can feel it.
And I can't control it, I can't see it,
But I know it's slowly creeping into my head.
Something's coming, I can feel it.
And I can't control it, I can't see it,
But I know it's slowly holding onto my hand.

Alone in the dark, it creeps on my skin.
I know what it wants, I know where it's been.
Alone in the dark, it creeps on my skin.
I know what it wants, I know where it's been.

It's been another week with the terrors,
Ever since we snuck onto your neighbour's terrace.
Tried keeping a record of the things they said,
But it's not the kind of message that I want to send.
I try to tell you you're the only thought I can cling to,
I played out each fantasy that I want from you.
So I just keep looking out into the dark,
And pray whatever's looking back don't hold too hard.
I try to keep calm but,

But something's coming, I can feel it.
And I can't control it, I can't see it,
But I know it's slowly creeping into my head.
Something's coming, I can feel it.
And I can't control it, I can't see it,
But I know it's slowly creeping into my bed.

Alone in the dark, it creeps on my skin.
I know what it wants, I know where it's been.
Alone in the dark, it creeps on my skin.
I know what it wants, I know where it's been.
