Nothing There

[Verse 1]
There’s something in the cold of the night
That follows me every time I step out the door
And when I turn around to look at it
I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Nothing is there

[Chorus]
Nothing is there… but it’s following me
Nothing is there… but I swear I can feel it breathe
God only knows what it wants from me
Nothing is there… but it won’t let me be

[Verse 2]
It moves between the shadows when the streetlights flicker low
I catch a half-glimpse in the corner of my eye
I swear I smell it, something rotten and slow
But the moment I look, the feeling dies

[Chorus]
Nothing is there… but it’s following me
Nothing is there… but I swear I can feel it breathe
God only knows what it wants from me
Nothing is there… but it won’t let me be

[Bridge]
Am I losing my mind or is this really happening?
Every footstep echoes like a copy of me
If I run will it chase? If I scream will it laugh?
Or is the monster just the fear inside of me?

[Final Chorus]
Nothing is there… but it’s following me
Nothing is there… but I swear I can feel it breathe
God only knows what it wants from me
Nothing is there… but it won’t let me be

[Outro]
Nothing is there…
Nothing is there…
(whispered, fading with reverb)
Nothing… is there…
