[Verse 1] The screen went black at ten Then the hall went thin A shape at the bus stop Folding into skin Reports say "nothing there" Just a power cut But Mara at the corner store Swears she saw it stand up [Pre-Chorus] It moved like smoke with bones Then split in two You looked away for one second Now it looks like you [Chorus] It really happened It really happened Ask the ones who ran It really happened It really happened Dark hands on the glass [Verse 2] The sirens traced the block Red on wet cement A man with a camera Lost what he meant He caught that crooked grin In the window flash Then the frame went empty Like it had been snatched [Pre-Chorus] It wore your neighbor's coat Your brother's face Then bent like broken metal And slipped away [Chorus] It really happened It really happened Ask the ones who ran It really happened It really happened Dark hands on the glass [Bridge] On the news they smooth it out Call it fear and heat But every witness carries The same cold shape In the mirror behind you There's a second line Moving when you don't Counting out the time [Final Chorus] It really happened It really happened Ask the ones who ran It really happened It really happened Dark hands on the glass It really happened It really happened Now it's got your name
