about

You know that feeling when you're walking alone in the dark?

...Yeah. That feeling. This song.

lyrics

Through the night, when I'm all alone...
I turn on these quiet lights, so I can rest my bones.
But...

These ghosts inside the outside of my head
Won't let me rest in peace inside my bed
Slick sheets and sweat and skin, manifestation of my sin
Are the symptoms of my Fickle Fiendish Friend.

Figures fleeting, flashing out of site
In cinematic grainy tone
The dark distorts the image of the light.
Ha! -- Home sweet home.

Sound amplifies and fades without a trace
And steals the innocence of sonic space
You echo round the bend, but I guess I'll just pretend that,
I didn't see my Fickle Fiendish Friend.

Creature, creature tell me, give me anything
To stem the blackened flowing of my dreams
My darting eyes I promise will take anything
To stop the goddamn howl of your screams

These ghosts inside the outside of my head
Won't let me rest in peace inside my bed
And I'll cower to the end, cause I know I can't pretend that,
I didn't see my Fickle Fiendish Friend

Ah x10

These ghosts inside the outside of my head
Won't let me rest in peace inside my bed
Slick sheets and sweat and skin -- manifestation of my sin
Are the symptoms of my Fickle Fiendish Friend.

No, no, no.
These are.
These are, these are the symptoms of my Fickle Fiendish Friend.
