American Gothic Lyrics by Creature Feature

American Gothic

2016

[Verse 1]
If there's nothing in the darkness
Then why do you lie awake?
Something in the shadows
Is keeping you from sleep
What are you afraid of?
Hiding in the night
Haunting figures appear
In the corner of your eye
[Verse 2]
Is death waiting to lash out
Or a ghost behind the breeze?
A devil in the cornfield
Or a beast among the trees
Are those wretched raving ravens
All harbringers of your doom?
Is the black cat crossing in your path
A prelude to your tomb?
[Chorus]
The sun falls like a guillotine
The dark comes alive with the unsavory beings
Lock the door
And run and hide
And hold your breath
And you just might survive the night
Your safety's false
Your logic's skewed
Now your complacent point of view
Will be the true death of you
[Verse 3]
Are there creaks in the floorboards
When you're alone in the room?
Are there footsteps in the attic
With each rising of the moon?
Strange sounds in the distance
Whatever could they be?
You're powerless to the deadly
Foul things lurking unseen
[Chorus]
The sun falls like a guillotine
The dark comes alive with unsavory beings
Lock the door
And run and hide
And hold your breath
And you just might survive the night
Your safety's false
Your logic's skewed
Now your complacent point of view
Will be the true death of you
[Verse 4]
Chattering teeth and rattling bones
Out in the blackness
Your nightmares grow
Dreadful thoughts make your blood run cold
The witching hour has taken hold
Deep in the bleak recess of your soul
Is where the terror makes its home
[Outro]
If there's nothing in the darkness
Then why do you lie awake?
Something in the shadows
Is keeping you from sleep
