lyrics

Since the spring I've been hanging round
Don't go to bed and I can't go out
Just aground on the same old ground
See if that stupid cat comes round
I find I'm drawn to focusing on negatives
Live on cereal and preservatives
Not enough highlights from dawn to twilight
Too much blue light, not enough true light

Don't get me started on the endless scroll
The ghouls swarming to the grassy knoll
So much vitriol, so little soul
IT ALL SEEMS SO RUTHLESS
And now the truth is

I feel spooky! in the dead of night
My reflection is in black and white
Yeah I'm spooky! Got a head full of sewage
I dream in stock footage
I'm losing touch with reality
Finger off the pulse of who really likes me
A disclaimer if you want to know me
Is that I'm creaky, I'm kooky, I'm altogether spooky

I feel the walls closing in on me
My cross words not as hard as they appear to be
I'm less cryptic
More like a cryptid
Feel like my next trick is
Being shown where the crypt is
I feel myself trying to draw out the evenings
As if a late night is not just self-defeating
I wonder why my weeks are passing me by
It's not even like I'm getting high

I'm feeling low but there's nowhere to climb
Nothing matters and nobody minds
All these circles we go round in lines
Are driving me loopy
And it occurs to me

I feel spooky! in the dead of night
My reflection is in black and white
Yeah I'm spooky! Got a head full of sewage
I dream in stock footage
I'm losing touch with reality
Finger off the pulse of who really likes me
My disclaimer if you want to know me
Is that I'm creaky, I'm kooky, I'm deeply fucking spooky

I don't understand who I am anymore - I'm probably just spooky
This is not a metaphor - I'm probably just spooky
Less sensational, more sensationalist - probably cause I'm spooky
Why am I so listless? Maybe I should make me a list - it starts with that I'm spooky

Yeah I'm spooky!!! in the dead of night
My reflection is in black and white
Yeah I'm spooky! Got a head full of sewage
I dream in stock footage
Yeah I'm spooky-
