The Night of Halloween

( Sound of digital static , whispered fragments ) ( Voice :... can you hear me now ?...) ( Sharp synth s**b ) ( Verse 1) Black screen staring back at me , another endless night Just my own reflection in the pale blue light But a flicker in the corner , a shadow in the code A message with no sender on this lonely road ( Pre - Chorus ) The temperature is dropping , I can feel it in the air A whisper on the Wi - Fi , a ghost inside the glare It ' s typing out a question , but the words all disappear The feeling ' s getting stronger that someone else is here ( Chorus ) Oh , the midnight static ' s calling out my name A phantom in the system , playing a wicked game Every pixel ' s screaming , a face I can ' t unsee Trapped inside the circuit , and it ' s coming after me ( Verse 2) The webcam light is glowing , but I never turned it on My playlist skips to silence right before the dawn They say it ' s just a power surge , a bug within the wire But I see a silhouette that ' s dancing in the fire ( Pre - Chorus ) The temperature is dropping , I can feel it in the air A whisper on the Wi - Fi , a ghost inside the glare It ' s typing out a question , but the words all disappear The feeling ' s getting stronger that someone else is here ( Chorus ) Oh , the midnight static ' s calling out my name A phantom in the system , playing a wicked game Every pixel ' s screaming , a face I can ' t unsee Trapped inside the circuit , and it ' s coming after me ( Bridge ) Log off , shut down , pull the plug from the wall But in the glass , I still can hear the call It ' s not in the machine , it ' s living in my head A ghost of ones and zeros , rising from the d**d ( Chorus ) Oh , the midnight static ' s calling out my name A phantom in the system , playing a wicked game Every pixel ' s screaming , a face I can ' t unsee Trapped inside the circuit , and it ' s coming after me ( Outro ) ( B**t fades , leaving only static . A final , clear whisper )( Voice : I see you .) ( Abrupt silence )
