Lose My Mind [IAFF Zombie Challenge]

[Intro] [Verse 1] The dead don't leave you offerings on the porch. I found those wilted weeds beneath my torch. They're supposed to wander, mindless in the street, Not memorize the rhythm of my feet. I board the windows up a little higher, And watch that shadow standing by the tire. [Chorus] It's not a mindless horde, it's just the one. And I can't seem to aim my heavy gun. She doesn't groan, she doesn't test the lock, Just tilts her head and watches from the block. The isolation's tearing at the thread... I'm being hunted by a girl who's already dead. [Verse 2] I caught her staring through the shattered glass, Waiting for the fever dream to pass. I raised the crossbow, told myself to shoot, But she just gave a little wave. I stood there, mute. A gesture from the wrong side of the grave, There's nothing left inside this mind to save. I hear a rhythmic scratching at the gate, I'm losing grip. I'm sealing my own fate. [Chorus] It's not a mindless horde, it's just the one. And I can't seem to aim my heavy gun. She doesn't groan, she doesn't test the lock, Just tilts her head and watches from the block. The isolation's tearing at the thread... I'm being hunted by a girl who's already dead. [Frantic Plucked Banjo Solo] [Bridge] They want to consume us, that's the only rule. So why's she standing by the rusted pool? Looking at me like I'm something more than meat. The silence in this town is a deceit. She smiles at me; a jagged, broken tear, I'm drowning in a new, unholy fear. If I go out there, will the nightmare end? Is she a monster, or my only friend? [Final Chorus] It's not a mindless horde, it's just the one. I've dropped the arrows and I've dropped the gun. She doesn't groan, she doesn't test the lock, She's waiting for me, halfway down the block. My sanity is hanging by a thread... I'm walking out to meet the living dead. [Outro] Keep the shutters up. I'm stepping outside. There's nowhere left to hide. Did she just say my name? I'm going insane. (Insane) Insane...
