[Intro] (A sharp, chirpy synth hook—mechanical and repetitive) (The bass enters with a sudden, aggressive punch) [Verse 1] There’s a rip in the fabric of the afternoon A heavy silence in a crowded room I’m staring at the glass but the eyes aren't mine Just a blur of a face in a crooked line I took the cotton and I pinned it to the wall Because I didn't want to see who was in the hall It’s a funny thing, the way the light can play When it’s trying to lead your soul astray [Pre-Chorus] (Goofy, "video-game" style synth rising) And you know that feeling, don't you now? The sweat that’s breaking on your brow? You check the locks but you leave the light Because nobody wants to be alone tonight! [Chorus] (Stadium Energy - Wide and Catchy) Oh, drape the linen and kill the glare! There’s a heavy weight hanging in the air! I’m looking for a reason, I’m looking for a sign But I swear to God, she was a friend of mine! Yeah, the silver’s lying and the glass is thin And you never know who you’re letting in! [Verse 2] Eight heartbeats on a wooden floor A soft vibration by the attic door I closed the curtains so the sun couldn't see The version of myself that was looking at me It’s a specific kind of panic, it’s a quiet dread When you’re counting the pillows on an empty bed I saw the handle of the tool in the dark And it left a very permanent kind of mark [Bridge] [Showy Synth Solo] (A bright, buzzy synth solo—fast and slightly dissonant) (Crowd Shout: "Turn it around!") Don’t look in! It’s a paper skin! The face you see... Is a tragedy! Cover the eyes, cover the soul Before the morning takes its toll! [Final Chorus] (Maximum Power - Anthemic) Oh, drape the linen and kill the glare! There’s a heavy weight hanging in the air! I’m looking for a reason, I’m looking for a sign But I swear to God, she was a friend of mine! [Outro] (The chirpy synth returns, slowed down and eerie) She was a friend of mine... (In the silver glass) Just a friend of mine... (Don't look back) She was a friend of mine. [Spoken] "Cheers... watch the mirrors." (Sudden Cut)
