[Necromancer is in the coffin below the ground, arms crossed over their chest.] Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that [Prey steals a leg of sheep or beef.] Ooh, promises and contracts [Apprentice catches Prey but looks terrified.] I used to keep [Hunter exits the shed with the gun.] I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that? [Hunter shoves the gun into Apprentice's hands, preloaded.] Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that [Prey tenses and starts trying to scurry off into the forest.] Ooh, my hallucination I used to see [Necromancer's eyes snap open, a glaring red, and Drummer (my role) starts drumming.] Wake up and I find out, did a change up [Prey already running.] Wait, did it change up? [Hunter directing Apprentice's shaking hands to aim at Prey.] Is it light out yet? Better find out, bet [The safety bell rings fast, like a desperate heartbeat.] I'ma walk around the edge of the room and the bed [Apprentice misses and Hunter drags them through the forest.] Where I hide my face, pace around [Prey stumbles into the underbrush as bullets ricochet about.] Better try to breathe, pace around, pace around [Hunter chases with a look of determination as Apprentice struggles through the brush.] I check the doors, check the windows, and pull the blinds [Necromancer screaming the lyrics while pounding on the coffin walls.] I check the clock, wonderin' what he'll pull this time [Spooky drumming like WWIII just started] I have a feeling that necromancer's outside And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet [More of Necromancer screaming but with flashing lights. At the end of the line, they shove their hands forward.] I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that? [Necromancer bursts out of the ground like a zombie and their head twitches toward the camera, snapping toward the audience with glowing red eyes. The lighting is so intense that they are only a silhouette.

Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that Ooh, my hallucination I used to see [Spooky's body will freeze during certain parts of their drumming, make them look like the anxiety attack scene from Inside Out 2. I'm not joking.] I used to see Sleep I found [Assorted predatory animals hunting, depends on who fills which role.] (Ooh) I wanna get out there [Slow motion of Prey dodging another poorly aimed bullet.] (Ooh) but I don't try [Apprentice looking horrified as Hunter's grip tightens on their shoulder.] (Ooh) I wanna get out there [Slow motion of Spooky posed in a cool way as they drum.] (Ooh) but I don't try [Necromancer's lip dripping with blood.]
I check the clock, wonderin' what he'll pull this time I have a feeling that necromancer's outside And I'm just tryin' to stay quiet [More Necromancer lipsync. At the end of this line, they snap in front of the camera, but when the snap sound actually plays, a bear trap snaps shut.] [cut to another animal montage.] I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that? [Necromancer sings, chest open to show his ribs.] I keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that [They look as though actually dying, jaw slack as they continue, even coughing up a fleck of blood.] Ooh, promises and contracts I used to keep [Spooky frozen at the drums before slamming down on em again.] I don't sleep much, that's crazy, how'd you know that? [Prey still running with the leg in his mouth.] Keep myself up, that's maybe how you know that [Spooky drumming, stone crawling up their arms.] Ooh, my hallucination [Hunter points toward Prey.] I used to see [A shadow goes over Apprentice's eyes and hides them as he finally tries to be "tough" and takes aim.] I used to see I used to see [Cut to an animated segment of a fox running through a forest with a stolen chicken in its mouth.] Ooh, my hallucination [The fox gets caught in a fox trap and scrambles as the farmer approaches.] I used to see [View from the fox's eye as the farmer points the gun at its head.] I used to see, it felt so real [Smash cut to the smoking barrel of Apprentice's gun before he drops it, sobbing. Hunter looks proud.] But now I plead, just take the deal [Prey twitches a little, blood from their mouth, before going limp.] I promised you a contract [Spooky looks horrified.] I promised you a contract [Necromancer coughs blood. cut to black.]
