The monsters under my bed were wrong
When they told me I'll never be this strong
But that was long ago, today
I'm running with courage in my own way
But it gets lonely in this room
The ghosts can bring a sense of gloom
You're the cure to the doubt I know so well
Since you cast me deep under a spell
And I can hear the clock tower ringing
The mournful ghosts in the hall still singing
Welcome to my strange dimension
I'll let you live in my haunted mansion
I'm not a zombie plagued with sickness
I'm just a mess and you know how to fix this
If this is love we can figure it all out
In this old haunted house
Don't mind the vampires living upstairs
This place is full of spooks and scares
But I hope you'll give me a chance
In here we'll build our own expanse
I'm sick and tired of playing the fool
And being laughed at by these ghouls
But with you I feel immortal
'Cuz what's the fun in being normal?
I've taken too many years to roam
But it's time to make this haunted house into a home
With you I know I feel a little bit freer
Who knows, I don't, and you don't either
But I think it's time to run for our lives

Undead

I'm just a freak
Just a goblin with a story to keep
I'm just a corpse
Hollowed out by my guilt, the darkest force
I am just a beast
There's a darkness rising from the east
The darkness is me
It's what I've always wanted to be
I'm the desire
To put your hand into the fire
I'm the nightmare
The shadow you see when there's nothing there
I am undead
There's only death within my head
I rot away
But I'm not falling down today
I am the crime
Every evil thought you have is mine
I am the cure
To the fairer side's allure
I'm just a freak
Just a goblin with a story to keep
I'm just a corpse
Hollowed out by my guilt, the darkest force
I am just a beast
There's a darkness rising from the east
The darkness is me
And now there's death as far as I can see

Dark night, full moon
Wolves howling ghostly tunes
Not a soul out tonight
Except two gods who fight
Over their jealousy
Disputing royalty
There's something rising up tonight
It's just natural to desire
The power that your soul requires
But it's so unnatural what you are
A fallen star
Now a long, long time ago
I gave in to the darkness so
I could have all the power
Pitch black for every hour
And though she tried to stop me
I'll rise again, if slowly
For a thousand years, I will prepare
This is only the beginning of the nightmare
Worlds apart, still connected
One of them, still rejected
One thousand counting down
A fatal throne, a lethal crown
Evil will soon return, A nightmare never learns
There's something coming in the nignt
It's just natural to desire
The power that your soul requires
But it's so unnatural what you are
A fallen star
Now I've come to take a life or two
But this is really about you
It's my revenge, it's my design
Now you can send your strongest
But I've been brooding longest
And my vengeance is divine

Hollow

Numb to pain
Does anybody out there know how to break the chain?
I'm locked here in a cage
Lies inside
It's feeling like all the rest of me has died
To protect me from my rage
Now I'm just a ghost
A shell of what I should be
I break, skin and bone
Aren't strong enough to keep me
Safe from the afflictions of tomorrow
They've eaten me away, leaving me hollow
Scared to face
The monsters in the dark that haunt this cursed place
They're laughing at me now
A voice in the dark
Tells me all I need is just a spark
To burn this prison down somehow
I hope you've seen
Why you should stay away from me
My bones are lined with pain
I'm a skeleton with thoughts fading away

Hold on, you can't deny it
Can't knock it until you try it
You'll never hold a candle to my flame
You're just a mind's delusion
Suffering from mass confusion
You can't feel just one day without your shame
But you can't drag me down with you
Delete my number and we're through
I'm just a puppet in your scheme
But I'm wiping the slate clean

Shadows (feat. Glaze)

Nightmares and white lies
Shadows behind my eyes
The beast within leaves me terrified
I've tried to let it fade
The monster I've made
But it's creeping in from all sides
I'm still looking for the truth
Still hoping to find you
Somehow I've got to find what's right
Scared I will run away
I'm losing hope today
I can't tell the shadows from the light
Secrets and darkness
I can't escape this
Disease eating at my mind
The untamed side of me
My own enemy
I hold in a prison inside
Watching, waiting, lights are fading
Loving, hating, words degrading
I can't fight the shadows within me
Feeling hopeless, chaos rising
Pain sets in as a part of me is dying
My soul has grown too dark to see

Me, My Phobias, and I
05:14

If only I could
Step out of this shell
I'd escape this do-it-yourself hell
And I'd stand up tall
Taller than the trees
And see the path that someone's cleared for me
Now wait a second
I'm scared of the dark
The sun has set now
I've watched the light depart
My feet are frozen
I'm terrified
I'm struggling
To fight my fear tonight
So how can I face my fears
If they're all out to get me
And I'm getting tired of wearing a disguise
Will you make them all disappear
So there's no ghosts left to haunt me
It's just me, my phobias and I
I'm only human
There's monsters waiting there
I can't stand the sense of danger in the air
I'm not a hero
I'm so afraid
I've never solved a single problem I've made
Now wait a minute
In this haunted place
I think I see
Up there a ghastly face
I hear it whisper
It knows my fears
Do I have the courage
To make it out of here?
If ever there was
A moment I found
Myself useless
Then I would be now
But I've made it this far
Even if I'm lost
I'll gather my courage
Whatever the cost
Because what's the purpose
Of living this way
I'm feeling my doubt swell
But I push it away
I may be afraid
I may be bruised
But I'm feeling like a winner
So I can't lose
There's so much fear
So make it disappear
I'm not that strong
But you can try to prove me wrong

Aviators recommends:
A great EP by my good friend and frequent collaborator, Tarby. Distorted drum tracks that would make Trent Reznor cry, and driving guitars that are sure to blow minds.

A musical journey through time to the 80's where everything is neon and drenched in delicious synthwave goodness. An amazing album to play Hotline Miami to as well.

For good hunters and beasts alike, this haunting symphony of an album will definitely be a call to your wild side.

LEVEL 1- The 2011 Collection
by Miracle Of Sound
supported by 127 fans who also own “Haunted House - And Other Stories”
I find it difficult to choose ONE favourite from this, but the end of Trip to Vegas always makes me crack up laughing. Even though I've never played Fallout: New Vegas, the exasperated "Not again" is so applicable to other games...or anything that involves computers being idiots.
