lyrics

It’s 3 A.M. and you can’t sleep
‘Cause the boogiemen are on the TV screen
A thousand channels, and in HD
But fear’s the only frequency

You shiver, you shudder, you
Toss and turn under the covers, you
Lock the door, shut the windows and close your blinds
And then you hear a creaking in the floor
A bony finger scratching at the door
And a voice under the bed is whispering,

“Tell me, is that frightening?
Are you terrified yet?”

As the talking heads deliver the night news feed
Something’s festering underneath
And then in every corner the shadows creep
Making sure you’re horrified and glued to your seat

Tell me, is that frightening?
Are you terrified yet?
Tell me, is that frightening?
Are you terrified yet?

You won’t mind your living hell
You’re too busy scared to death
What should really get you petrified and pale
Is that the boogiemen are all just in your head

You stammer, you stutter, you
Can’t seem to find the words to utter, you
Become a slave to the chill going up your spine
And you’re so scared of what goes on outside
The horror movie that’s become your life
That you’re welcoming the wool they’re pulling up and over your eyes

You won’t mind your living hell
You’re too busy scared to death
What should really get you petrified and pale
Is that the boogiemen are all just in your head
You just can’t be rational when you’re about to piss yourself
Don’t you know that in darkness dwell the fears of men?
Shine the light of right of mind and they disappear

All your fears are reflections of yourself
Tell me, what’s so frightening?
Terrifying?
Petrifying?
Horrifying?

Illuminate the terrors in your mind and you’ll shine
For all your shadows shatter in the light
Just shine
Illuminate the terrors in your mind and you’ll shine
For all your shadows shatter in the light
Just shine
Just shine
