A Simple Job

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear them call

It was just supposed to be
A simple job
Stay awake, make sure the place
Don't get robbed

Oh, now I need security for me
From the mob
Midnight they come alive
And now I pray to god
I pray to god

I pray they stay away
And that I see another day
I just wanna get away
Before they slay

But now I know I'm
All alone
In front of glowing screens
Battery's dying, I'd be lying
If I said I didn't want to scream

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear their calls

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear their calls

I can't fight back
I lack an attack
So the doors stay shut
And the camera tracks

Everything except my back
Where my hair stands up
As I hear them laugh

I see their grins
And I know I'm in
A situation I'll never win
I ask myself a simple question
How much does this pay again

The battery's dead
And the lights go dark
I try to quiet my
Beating heart

Trying not to fall apart
But they make fear a work of art

Just as I prepare to die
The clock strikes six
And I'm alive

Well that was fun
For night number one
How will I make it to five

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear their calls

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear them call

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear their calls

They're in the halls
They're in the walls
They're waking up and I can
Hear their calls
