Lyrics
Something funny going on.
Don't know enough to say what's wrong.
But the wind in the leaves is getting quiet.
Something dangerous is loose.
Don't know enough to say what it is
But I feel it and I can't deny it.
It aint me that set the damn thing free
Let's forget I ever said a thing
Something evil's getting closer.
Take your medicine in triple doses
But it just don't get no better.
And it's trying to creep inside
You close your mouth, it just comes in through your eyes.
How do you hold yourself together?
It aint me that set the damn thing free
Let's forget I ever said a thing
Point your little finger into the mirror
Does it make you feel better?
Something ugly 'round here.
Do you even know what it is you fear?
