Swallowed By Night (Warning Rated R) not intended for those who are sensitive to horror

Verse 1

The temperature drops like a stone in the room

Your breath turns to vapor inside of the gloom

It's not just a shadow, it's displacing the air

A heavy, thick pressure that strips your skin bare

The floorboards aren't creaking from houses that settle

The smell in the corner is sulfur and metal

Chorus

They come in the night when your eyelids are heavy

The weight on your chest like the break of a levee

You try to scream out but your throat is locked tight

Paralyzed, freezing, swallowed by night

This isn't a fable, this isn't a dream

The ghosts in the dark make you choke on your scream

Verse 2

The adrenaline hits and your heart starts to race

A low, guttural static is filling the space

It sounds like a radio trapped between stations

Or the desperate, last gasps of a dying connection

You see two dark hollows where eyes used to be

And you realize it's staring directly at me (right at me)

Chorus

They come in the night when your eyelids are heavy

The weight on your chest like the break of a levee

You try to scream out but your throat is locked tight

Paralyzed, freezing, swallowed by night

This isn't a fable, this isn't a dream

The ghosts in the dark make you choke on your scream

Bridge

It's the biological horror of knowing you're caught

When your muscles freeze up and your vision goes shot

The auditory hallucination that turns out to be real

The terrifying truth that your senses can feel

Outro

Footsteps on carpet...

Right by the bed...

The covers are pulling...

It's inside your head...

Close your eyes tightly...

Don't make a sound...

Before it pulls you...

Into the ground...
