You're At The Party

Hour hand's gone from two to three, now four
You've barely slept all night
All the noise and lights and party songs next door are too much

They make you sweat
Half-awake, soaking wet
Fever dream
People screaming bloody murder

Paint chips flaking off the neighboring wall
And as the night goes on and threatens dawn
The music fills the halls
They're in your house

You lock the door
You shut your eyes tight as your window breaks
Someone, something takes your hand
You don't understand
You can't understand it

Eyes shut tight, never open up

(Too late) you've been invited
(Too late) you're at the party
(Wake up, wake up) and it's a place you've seen before
You've seen before
A place you've seen before you were born

Now you are dancing
You're with your people
You're not alone
Now you are drinking
Having a party
You're not alone

(Too late) you are the party
(Wake up) you are the nuisance
(Too late) you're not alone
(Wake up) it's not a nightmare
(Too late) you are delightful
(Wake up) you're not alone
(Too late) you've been invited
(Wake up) you're at the party
(Too late) you're not alone
(Wake up) you've been invited
(Too late) you're at the party

And you notice that the sun's not rising and the birds are dead
There's only dust on the floor where people were before
And the dream won't leave your head
It won't leave

You need a drink
Half-empty bottles in the sink
Down the drain
Sudden rain outside alarms you
Hour hand's gone and now you're feeling strange
Now your hands grow strong, your fingers long and your face
Your face begins to change

You're mesmerized
You want to cover up your eyes
But they're already shut so tight
Whisper in your ear
Only you can hear
Only you can hear it

Eyes shut tight, never open up

Too late
Too late
You've been invited
You're at the party
It's a place you've seen before
(Too late) you've been invited
(Too late) you're at the party
(Wake up, wake up) and it's a place you've seen before
You've seen before

A place you've seen before you were born
Before you were born
Before you were born
Before you were born

(Too late) you've been invited
(Wake up) you're at the party
(Too late) you're not alone
(Wake up) you've been invited
(Too late) you're at the party
(Wake up) you're not alone
(Too late) you are the uproar
(Wake up) you are the party
(Too late) you're not alone
(Wake up) it's not a nightmare
(Too late) you're at the party and you're not alone
