[Verse 1]
I seen a shape in the hallway
Bare feet, cold floor, and a long face
Your little night light flicker once
Then the whole room feel like wrong place
You keep your eyes on the pillow
I keep mine on the crack in the door
Something lean when you breathe out
Then it vanish, ask for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t close them
Don’t drift off
Hear that tap-tap at the frame?
It’s right there
Then it’s gone
But it know your name
[Chorus]
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
Keep them eyes open
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
It’s back at the window (it’s back)
[Verse 2]
Mama said pray with the TV off
I said I heard steps in the vent
Three slow knocks from the basement wall
Like the house got a message sent
The cat gone stiff by the doorway
Tail low, ears flat, no sound
I saw two dots in the closet dark
And I swore they moved around
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t close them
Don’t drift off
Hear that tap-tap at the frame?
It’s right there
Then it’s gone
But it know your name
[Chorus]
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
Keep them eyes open
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
It’s back at the window (it’s back)
[Bridge]
When the moon bend low
And the room go thin
I hear my own voice call my name from within
If you blink too long
It gets too near
So I count them cracks
And I fight that fear
[Chorus]
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
Keep them eyes open
Never sleep again
Never sleep again
It’s back at the window (it’s back)
[Outro]
One eye open
One hand steady
If it come again
I’m already ready
Never sleep again
