I grabbed a flashlight, just like I always do A damp sorta night, and now I'm telling you, well I saw a pair of eyes, and I'm sure they saw me too Don't never never run, hell yes I'm going too How long should I feel like bait now? Wide open, careful where the mind goes Moonlight, a superstitious glow If it's my time, well I'm going out alone You ever tried to hold your breath? Well here's a tip, don't follow through You feel the nightmares never end And now it seems it's coming true No one should see what I can see It's up to you with weakened knees That little creep just grabbed my arm It's gonna be the longest night How long should I feel like bait now? Wide open, careful where the mind goes Moonlight, a superstitious glow If it's my time, well I'm going out alone Alone, alone, alone Night, you're a friend of mine, another family Better not divide, any, armed, with its beastly doom I'll beat this jackal down, this interference ends Send it back beyond When hunter, meets hunter, this hunter, eats hunter When hunter, meets hunter, this hunter, eats hunter How long should I feel like bait now? Wide open, careful where the mind goes Moonlight, a superstitious glow If it's my time, well I'm going out alone If it's my time Well I'm going out alone If it's my time Well I'm going out alone If it's my time I'm going out alone
