Just sit tight. Don’t you laugh, think, or clap.
Don’t even breathe. Fold your hands in your lap.
Don’t call for help. Don’t write anything down.
Don’t raise your voice. No, don’t make a sound.
We can plague you with flies. Tear your world apart.
Peel the skin off your bones. Drive a stake through your heart.
We’re behind the walls. Sliding under the door.
We’ve slipped through the cracks. We know who you are.
Stay in your homes. We know who you are.
Away from the windows. We know who you are.
Always remember... We’re never that far.
We know who you are.
Take a look outside. In the dark of the day.
Aren’t you glad we’re here? Didn’t you want it that way?
Send your prayers on up. They won’t get too far.
Fall onto your knees now. We know who you are.
Stay in your homes. We know who you are.
Away from the windows. We know who you are.
Always remember... We’re never that far.
We know who you are.
Always remember...We’re never that far.
We know who you are.
