"It’s mostly just about a feeling. Getting overwhelmed by a feeling and how it changes things around you. That sort of stuff lol idk it’s not that deep, but that sort of idea… I actually lived in a “haunted house” for a few years when I was little. The house was old and there were a lot of stories about it, but I didn’t see too much spooky stuff. One night I saw someone standing in the next room, and they started to scream really loud. Idk it was probably just a dream lol hard to tell I guess. I was listening to a lot of electro-pop when I made it, that’s probably obvious lol ummm idk Alice Glass, Black Dresses, not sleeping, feeling useless, seeing things that aren’t there, that opening club scene from the movie Blade, a cockroach that kept crawling around my studio… just a lot of stuff put together I suppose lol."

Running, running through the back alley
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had enough
Am I going insane?
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had...
Yeah, do you think it's cute that
I'm so fucking stupid
Tell me that it is, 'cause I'm tired of being useless, yeah
I've been up for three days
Everything is haunted
Everybody's evil and there's bugs inside the carpet
Do you think I'm frightening? Organ chords and lightning
If I show my fangs, will you tell me that they're cool?
Mirrors shatter when I'm passing, broken glass and crashing
Little blurry stars scattered all across my room
Am I going insane?
Running, running through the back alley
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had enough
Am I going insane?
Running, running through the back alley
Blood all over and you know I've had enough
Insane, running, running through the back alley
Blood all over
You know I've had enough

@@FingerSpazm Demo version went “Monsters in the trashcan
Ghosts inside the doorway
Don’t look at it now, there’s a shadow in the hallway
Hours in the toilet, better grab the Drano
I get too worked up so I gotta flush my brain out”
instead of
''Do you think I'm frightening? Organ chords and lightning
If I show my fangs, will you tell me that they're cool?
Mirrors shatter when I'm passing, broken glass and crashing
Little blurry stars scattered all across my room''
I like the demo version lyrics more these sound kinda corny and forced
