Hello, Clancy. 00:08

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds, 00:32

I check the clock 00:36

wondering what he will pull this time, 00:37

I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside, 00:39

And I'm just trying to stay quiet. 00:43

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? 00:46

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that, 00:50

Promises and contracts 00:55

I used to keep, 00:58

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that? 01:00

Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that, 01:04

My hallucination 01:09

I used to see. 01:13

Wake up and I find out, did a change up, 01:17

Wait- 01:19

Did it change up? 01:19

Is it light out yet? 01:20

Better find out. Bet, 01:21

Imma walk around the edge of the room, 01:22

And the bed where I hide my face, 01:23

Pace around, 01:24

Better try to breathe, 01:25

Pace around, 01:26

Pace around. 01:27

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds, 01:29

I check the clock 01:33

Lyrics:

[English]

Hello, Clancy.

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds,

I check the clock

wondering what he will pull this time,

I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside,

And I'm just trying to stay quiet.

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that,

Promises and contracts

I used to keep,

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that,

My hallucination

I used to see.

Wake up and I find out, did a change up,

Wait-

Did it change up?

Is it light out yet?

Better find out. Bet,

Imma walk around the edge of the room,

And the bed where I hide my face,

Pace around,

Better try to breathe,

Pace around,

Pace around.

I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds,

I check the clock

wondering what he will pull this time,

I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside,

And I'm just trying to stay quiet.

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that,

Promises and contracts

I used to keep,

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that,

My hallucination

I used to see.

Sleep I found.

I wanna get out there,

But I don’t try,

I wanna get out there,

But I don’t try.

I check the clock

wondering what he will pull this time,

I have a feeling that necromancer’s outside,

And I'm just trying to stay quiet.

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that,

Promises and contracts

I used to keep,

I don’t sleep much, that's crazy, how’d you know that?

Keep myself up, that’s maybe how you know that,

My hallucination

I used to see.

My hallucination

I used to see.

I used to see,

It felt so real,

But now I plead,

Just take the deal,

I promised you,

A contract,

I promised you,

A contract.
