Holloween – The Veil Is Thin

(Intro) October thirty-first… the clocks are holding their breath… something is walking in the walls tonight… (Vers 1) Porch lights flicker, one by one the candy bowl is cold and gone A paper mask with hollow eyes is smiling where the mirror lies The radio is hissing static counting down to something automatic Every shadow learns my name every window holds a flame (Pre-Refrein) Don't… look… back… the floorboards know the track Don't… breathe… too… loud… there's a stranger in the crowd (Refrein) It's Halloween, the veil is thin the dead are knocking to come in They scratch the glass, they call my name tonight the dark and I... are the same It's Halloween, don't let them through the ones who wear a face like you The pumpkin grins, the candle dies I see my own face in its eyes (Vers 2) Trick or treat, the children sing but no one's there, the doorbell rings Their footsteps stop outside my room a lullaby inside the tomb The mirror fogs, a hand appears it's writing with my frozen tears: "Run, little one, the night is long and you have been the ghost all along" (Pre-Refrein) Don't… turn… around… the stairs don't make a sound Don't… say… a… word… you'll wake the thing you heard (Refrein) It's Halloween, the veil is thin the dead are knocking to come in They scratch the glass, they call my name tonight the dark and I... are the same It's Halloween, don't let them through the ones who wear a face like you The pumpkin grins, the candle dies I see my own face in its eyes (Bridge) …the door is open… …the light is out… …my name is written… …inside their mouths… (Climax) I AM THE KNOCK I AM THE SCREAM I AM THE THING THAT EATS THE DREAM THE CANDLE'S OUT THE VEIL IS TORN TONIGHT THE DARK WAS BORN (Outro) Happy Halloween… the clock resumes… and something's breathing in the room …trick or treat… (End) ----/ Lyrics & composition © Bedhippie, 2026.
