Traveling down the hallway, you see a glint of light
You think that it might be a trick of the eye
A board creaks, it echoes from somewhere in the house
You freeze in place and wait for the noise again
(There's someone behind you)
The sound of footsteps you know are not your own
The heat of adrenaline courses through your veins
This state of awareness causes you to tremble
A breath on your shoulder forces you to run
(There's someone behind you)
Erratic movements, you seek a place to hide
Frantically wondering, how did he get inside?
Who is this stranger, what does he want from you?
You try to outrun him, what more can you do?
Unable to fathom, caught in the grip of fear.
What is this menace, what is he doing here?
Running down the hallway, you rush into a room.
Noises drawing closer, threatening your doom.
Pray for salvation, pray for the light of day.
Your heart beats so loud, will it give you away?!
Hiding in terror, you hope not to be found
Footsteps draw closer, you feel them in the ground
The shaking, so violent, no way to sit still
His laughter, so evil, begins to make you ill
(There's someone behind you)
His voice, so loud, reverberates from everywhere
A rumble in the walls, how can he know you're there?
The voices so loud, as if coming from inside
There's only one answer: the intruder is in your mind
(THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOU)
Erratic movements, there's no place to hide
Frantically wondering, how did he get inside?!
