The Jump

Intro

(Sleep now)

(Sleep now)

Verse 1

Midnight rolls in cold

Plastic shadows stretch across the hallway wall

Clicking locks

Something hungry breathes behind the basement door

The hinges scream a warning

Black water leaks out from the cracked ceiling

I see a hand

I see a face

I see a threat

Pre-Chorus

Wide eyes glued to the dark

Nothing moves but the pulse in my neck

Cold sweat soak the sheet

Wait for the jump

Chorus

They wake when the lights go out

They wake when the lights go out

Monsters hiding in the plain sight (They wake)

Monsters feeding on the pale fright (They wake)

Coming for your mind tonight

Coming for your soul tonight

Coming for your breath tonight

Verse 2

Tapping on the pane

Razor fingers scratching through the window glass

Bitter black bile

Swallowing the air until my lungs might pop

Bitter black bone

Snap and crackle beneath the heavy velvet quilt

Paralyzed

Petrified

Purged of hope

Pre-Chorus

Wide eyes glued to the dark

Nothing moves but the pulse in my neck

Cold sweat soak the sheet

Wait for the jump

Chorus

They wake when the lights go out

They wake when the lights go out

Monsters hiding in the plain sight (They wake)

Monsters feeding on the pale fright (They wake)

Coming for your mind tonight

Coming for your soul tonight

Coming for your breath tonight

Bridge

Don't close your lids (No)

Don't drop your guard (No)

Don't lose your head (No)

Underneath the frame

Through the venting shaft

Inside the empty space

Chorus

They wake when the lights go out

They wake when the lights go out

Monsters hiding in the plain sight (They wake)

Monsters feeding on the pale fright (They wake)

Coming for your mind tonight

Coming for your soul tonight

Coming for your breath tonight
