Lyrics
I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just trying to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
My hallucination I used to see
Wake up and I find out, did a change up
Wait, did it change up?
Is it light out yet? Better find out, bet
I'ma walk around the edge of the room and the bed
Where I hide my face, pace around
Better try to breathe, pace around, pace around
I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just trying to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
My hallucination I used to see
I used to see
Sleep I found
I wanna get out there
But I don't try
I wanna get out there
But I don't try
I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time
I have a feeling that necromancer's outside
And I'm just trying to stay quiet
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
Promises and contracts I used to keep
I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?
Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that
My hallucination I used to see
I used to see
I used to see
My hallucination I used to see
I used to see
It felt so real
But now I plead
Just take the deal
I promised you
A contract
I promised you
A contract
