Lyrics:
V1
The dread is at my door
I gotta keep the lock-on
So it don’t get a stranglehold
It can be like a vapor
That seeps through the crack
So I gotta pay attention
And not turn my back
V2
Some think it isn’t real
But I know it’s true
In the middle of the night
It’ll be waiting there for you
When things get quiet
Or when you're all alone
The dread creeps in
And sends a chill to your bones
Chorus
I know the dread well
And it knows me
I try to run from it
But it always finds me
I wish it were a stranger
So I could forget its name
But it’s all too familiar
It’s made a home in my brain
V3
Now if you know the dread
And it shows up at your door
You can try and hide
But it‘ll come up through the floor
And when you least expect
In the middle of the night
The dread will call your name out
No matter how hard you fight
Chorus
Outro
The dread will come to know you
Whether you want it to or not
It’s an uninvited visitor
That stays longer than it’s asked
