Bats

Neon lights on a broken street I hear my thoughts like a marching beat Something's crawling underneath my skin And I don't know where I end or begin It's getting louder every night Like a storm I can't fight I try to run, I try to hide But it lives in my mind Bats in the attic, breaking through the silence Bats in the attic, turning truth to violence I can run but I can't hide They're alive inside Empty faces, crowded sound But I feel like I'm underground Every shadow knows my name And nothing ever feels the same It's getting louder in my chest No escape, no rest I close my eyes, it comes alive Every time I try Bats in the attic, breaking through the silence Bats in the attic, turning truth to violence I can run but I can't hide They're alive inside Oh I tried to burn it down Oh I tried to shut it out But it only gets stronger now Stronger now Bats in the attic, louder than a riot Bats in the attic, I can't keep it quiet I can run but I can't hide They're alive inside They're alive inside They're alive inside
