Lyrics

Verse 1
When the lights go out, they come…
(They only come out at night)
When night has won and closed the day,
Another soul is led away.

Verse 2
Billy has been gone so long,
It’s been more than fourteen days.
It isn’t like him to stay gone,
Is he dead, or has he lost his way?

Verse 3
I asked each clerk, but none would dare,
He disappeared, but no one cares.
Their laughter layers my lament,
Allowing feelings to ferment

Pre-Chorus
A shadow falls along the walls,
A Whisper echoes down the halls…
The staff—they do not speak by day,
But they are never far away…

Chorus
When the lights go out, they come…
(They only come out at night)

By day, the office door is locked,
By night, the staff appear in flocks.
They’ll rise from slumber very soon!
Why is check-out hour by the moon?!

Bridge
We’re quickly running out of time!
I call his name, the echo’s mine
I see his face within my mind,
I search afraid of what I’ll find!

Verse 4
As my fears began to rise,
He listened closely to my cries.
He found me pain so easily,
But struggled then, internally.

Chorus (Reprise)
When the lights go out, they come…
(They only come out at night)

By day, the office door is locked,
By night, the staff appear in flocks.
They’ll rise from slumber very soon!
Why is check-out hour by the moon?!
