All I ever wanted was to be noticed
A presence that could still a beating heart
So I smoke my cigarette where people think there's no-one there
And watch them screaming, running through the park
From the glow in the dark

I don't think my mother ever loved me
I don't think my father even tried
I'm slipping through the shadows to secluded suburban spaces
All to see a stranger bolting through the night
From an unfamiliar light

Quarter til' 11 on a Monday
Winter brings a crispness to the breeze
Nobody can spot me but I'm waiting
Hidden in the void between the trees

Quarter past 11 on a Monday
Winter brings a harshness to the wind
I've been here for hours like a stiff, inhuman monolith
(Just) Gagging for the action to begin

Twenty past the hour on a Tuesday
That was when I made the clock stop still
Frozen by their sudden realisation
Petrified in terror for my thrill
Nothing is as pure as imagination
Nothing is as deep as the unknown
I lie in wait and live to see them scrambling to their homes
In panic when they sense they're not alone

I could never hurt them
They shiver when they see me
It's so quiet out tonight
Constant noises in my brain

I could never touch them
It's not my place to question why
They don't have time to understand the life behind the light they find

I could never hurt them
They shiver when they see me
It's so quiet out tonight
Constant Noises in my brain

I could never touch them
Got no desire to question why
They don't have time to understand the life behind the glow in the dark

It's so silent out to night
It's so busy in my brain
It's so silent out tonight
It's so busy in my brain
It's so silent out tonight
It's so busy in my brain
It's so silent out tonight
It's so busy in my brain
