[Verse 1] I bolted every window when the temperature dropped blamed the draft on something that the walls never stopped I swore I heard footsteps that weren’t following me so I hid in the closet like a child of three Every flicker of the hallway light felt like someone else’s night I kept telling myself, “It’s them, they're here” while I tried to deny my growing fear [Chorus] I’m terrified of the supernatural of the things that don’t belong of the cold that has no reason and the silence that’s too long I keep waiting for my parents to come and rescue me I didn’t know the thing I feared was actually ... just me [Verse 2] The mailman walked straight past the porch and never even waved my breakfast sat for seven days and never even aged I shouted at the mirror till I swore the pane should crack then I noticed that the glass had nothing looking back I used to think the house was full of strangers I should dread now the rooms are only crowded with the person who is dead [Chorus] I’m terrified of the supernatural of the things that don’t belong of the cold that has no reason and the silence that’s too long I keep waiting for my parents to come and rescue me I didn’t know the thing I feared was actually ... just me [Bridge] No one lit the candle no one moved the chair no one left the footprints that I followed everywhere I was the draft I was the creak I was the reason the floorboards speak I spent so long running from a ghost I couldn’t name that I never stopped to notice I was the one to blame [Final chorus] I’m terrified of the supernatural but the haunt was never them it was the boy who stayed behind when the darkness slipped in I used to fear the other side like it was coming for my head now I understand the quiet I am the one who’s dead [last line almost whispered] I think I’ve been gone a very long time.
