Lyrics

[PreChorus]

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds

I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time

I have a feeling that necromancer's outside

And I'm just trying to stay quiet

[Chorus]

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

Promises and contracts I used to keep

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

My hallucination I used to see

[Verse 1]

Wake up and I find out, did a change up

Wait, did it change up?

Is it light out yet? Better find out, bet

I'ma walk around the edge of the room and the bed

Where I hide my face, pace around

Better try to breathe, pace around, pace around

[PreChorus]

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds

I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time

I have a feeling that necromancer's outside

And I'm just trying to stay quiet

[Chorus]

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

Promises and contracts I used to keep

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

My hallucination I used to see

I used to see

[Bridge]

Sleep I found

I wanna get out there

But I don't try

I wanna get out there

But I don't try

[PreChorus]

I check the clock, wondering what he'll pull this time

I have a feeling that necromancer's outside

And I'm just trying to stay quiet

[Chorus]

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

Promises and contracts I used to keep

I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that

My hallucination I used to see

[Outro]

I used to see

I used to see

My hallucination I used to see

[Outro]

I used to see

It felt so real

But now I plead

Just take the deal

I promised you

A contract

I promised you

A contract
