November First

I only ever tried to find my prison How am I supposed to spend the time I'm given now? I let the burden blind my vision How am I supposed to let my past self live it down? I can't try and shake my sorrows If every time I walk alone the Shape still follows close He'll put me in a grave tomorrow I don't know if you could ever save my hollowed soul Take that mask you hid inside and let them see your eyes I don't care if fear can paralyze, I'm dead on the inside Hold that knife you're sharpening and keep it by your side These October nights are darkening and he'll be back in time But when the long night fades Will you still know who you are? When only shadows remain Will you crawl back towards the dark? I told myself I'd make things better I feel like I need something to take this pressure off Tradition made me hate this weather Haddonfield has never been a safe place to get lost I was in the worst condition Paranoid delusion is the world I live in now Denial couldn't cure suspicion I thought he was back with every stir or distant sound Take that mask you hid inside and let them see your eyes I don't care if fear can paralyze, I'm dead on the inside Hold that knife you're sharpening and keep it by your side These October nights are darkening and he'll be back in time But when the long night fades Will you still know who you are? When only shadows remain Will you crawl back towards the dark? It lives inside me It still defines me It's still inside my head I can't escape Something I can't explain I saw the look inside his eyes go dead But the fear remains I'll never feel the same I'll always feel the pain I let this get inside my head sometimes Burdens I can't bear to shoulder Epilogues I've yet to write Never could compare to closure Take that mask you hid inside and let them see your eyes I don't care if fear can paralyze, I'm dead on the inside Hold that knife you're sharpening and keep it by your side These October nights are darkening and he'll be back in time When November arrives Will you still know who you are?
