Uncanny Valley

Verse 1

I don't know where I am tonight,

These empty halls don't feel right.

The walls all look the same to me,

And every door leads somewhere I can't see.

The lights above me flicker slow,

I hear a noise, but I don't know

If I'm alone or if there's someone

Walking somewhere down below.

Pre-Chorus 1

Someone's standing down the hall,

I don't think they see me at all.

They're smiling at an empty wall...

Why won't they stop?

Chorus

I want you to come back-

Wait, why's she smiling like that?

I wanna go home now-

Huh? What was that sound?

I feel existential dread here,

But I'm scared to shed my fear..

I think there's something watching me-

WAIT- PLEASE LEAVE ME BE!

Verse 2

I found the room where she had stood,

There wasn't anyone there.

But on the wall, a photograph

Had eyes that seemed to follow me.

Then footsteps started down the hall,

Slow at first, then getting fast.

I tried the door, it wouldn't move,

And something whispered my name.

I turned around, but no one stood

Where I had heard the voice.

Pre-Chorus 2

Someone's standing down the hall,

Now I think they're watching me.

Their head is turned the wrong way...

But somehow they can see.

Chorus

I want you to come back-

Wait, why's she smiling like that?

I wanna go home now-

Huh? What was that sound?

I feel existential dread here,

But I'm scared to shed my fear..

I think there's something watching me-

WAIT- PLEASE LEAVE ME BE!

Verse 3

RUN, RUN, RUN, I NEED OUT!

WHY WON'T ANY OF THESE DOORS OPEN?!

They're everywhere, they're everywhere!

I HEAR THEM BREATHING!

I HEAR THEM LAUGHING!

Why do they all look just like us?!

Why do they move like that?!

GET AWAY FROM ME!

DON'T TOUCH ME!

DON'T LOOK AT ME!

SOMEBODY PLEASE GET ME OUT!

Pre-Chorus 3

Someone's standing down the hall.

No... there are three of them now.

They're all wearing my face.

And one just smiled.

Final Chorus

I want you to come back-

Wait, why's she smiling like that?

I wanna go home now-

Huh? What was that sound?

I feel existential dread here,

But I'm scared to shed my fear..

I think there's something watching me-

WAIT- PLEASE LEAVE ME BE!
