Night Terror
YTCracker Lyrics

Slow wailing of the sirens
The sound of sirens can be heard in the distance, it's slow and steady.

In the distance I gather the courage to gather my things
I find the strength to get my belongings together and leave.

The clocks ticking
I'm aware of the time and that I need to act fast.

Grab a backpack see what will fit in
I quickly pack my most important belongings into a backpack.

Cuz im sitting on a bunch of dirty shit and i cant flush it
I have incriminating evidence that I can't get rid of easily.

Main tractop clamshelled
I take the main exit quietly and carefully.

Grab a few gs and usb keys from the spam well
I take some drugs and USB drives that have information I need.

Swiftly picking through the inventory
I quickly go through my belongings to make sure I have everything I need.

In my fifth story apartment building at five in the morning
I'm leaving my apartment early before anyone can catch me.

Beat it down the wet metal stairs
I quickly run down the wet metal steps of the fire escape.

Of this rickety fire escape with my bag full of warez
I have my bag full of illegal items with me.

Make my hi tops skywalk and i land on the sidewalk
I jump off the fire escape and land on the sidewalk.

Glance over my shoulder as i sprint to the station
I look back to see if anyone is following me as I run to the train station.

And i dont have a clue which agency might be chasing me
I don't know which law enforcement agency is after me.

I just hit the road when i thought they were tracing me
I left as soon as I suspected I was being followed.

Logging packets from an unknown source
Someone is monitoring my internet activity without my knowledge.

Now im running through this obstacle course
I'm navigating through obstacles while trying to evade capture.

Signature whipping of helicopter blades spinning
I can hear the sound of helicopter blades spinning overhead, a signature of a law enforcement pursuit.

Quickly close on my location the information is good
The law enforcement agents are quickly closing in on my location, indicating they have good information on my whereabouts.

Probably pass on paranoia or just call it coincidence
I can't tell if my paranoia is justified or if it's just a coincidence.

But this incident in particular got me feeling different
This particular incident has me feeling more anxious and scared than usual.

Cause its obvious pursuit is in play
I know for sure that law enforcement is pursuing me.

Every noise i hear converging on me trying to conclude my day
I hear noises all around me as the law enforcement agents are closing in, trying to capture me and end my freedom.

A spotlight from the heavens confirming this is a raid
A spotlight from a helicopter shines down on me, confirming this is a law enforcement raid.

And these agents of the state are trying to take me away
The agents are trying to apprehend me and take me into custody.

"Halt - sir! stop where you are
The agents are yelling at me to stop.

Dont even try resisting you wont get very far
They warn me not to resist because it won't end well for me.

Please yield in your tracks dont make it worse than it already is
They ask me to stop and surrender peacefully to avoid further trouble.

Kneel and put your hands on your head!"
They demand that I kneel and place my hands on my head in surrender.

I could listen - or i could race more intensely
I have the option to either surrender or try to escape even more desperately.

Is my stamina sufficient? can my lawyers defend me?
I'm unsure if I have the physical ability to escape or if my legal team can successfully defend me.

I dont even know to what extent the charges might be
I'm not sure what I'm being charged with, or how severe the charges are.

But they gotta be signficant they sent in the calvary
The fact that they sent in a lot of law enforcement indicates that my charges are likely significant.

Im dashing fast - while im weighing these options
I'm quickly moving while considering my options.

Either way that i decide i must proceed with some caution
Regardless of what I choose to do, I know I need to be careful.

Because often people in my place catch a bullet
People in my situation often end up getting shot.

From a trigger happy cop whos just itching to pull it
A police officer who is eager to pull the trigger might shoot me.

And i aint got an armory no glory in dying
I don't have a weapon to defend myself with and I don't want to die.

Luckily not up for murder so no need to be hiding
I'm relieved that I'm not being charged with murder, but I still need to hide.

How many years are even possible for popping my crimewave?
I'm not sure how long I could potentially be sentenced for my crimes.

Im just another villain with a pulse and a sine wave
I feel like I'm just another criminal with a heartbeat and a wavelength.

Stop moving - lock my hands to my neck
The agents order me to stop moving and to put my hands on my neck.

Drop my bag to my side let my shins hit the deck
I drop my bag and slowly kneel down with my shins on the ground.

Resigned to my fate guess i will face the music
I accept that I will face the consequences of my actions.

Reflecting on my past and then how to get through this
I think about my past and how I got to this point, and how I can survive this situation.

Wondering who couldve been judas - i was careful enough
I wonder who betrayed me, and if there was anything more I could have done to avoid getting caught.

Now im totally surrounded and im put into cuffs
The agents surround me and put me in handcuffs.

Shoved in back of a black suburban
I'm pushed into the back of a black SUV.

My future nebulous and uncertain
I have no idea what my future holds, it's completely unknown and uncertain.
