Power's Out

One blinding flash
Then Darkness surrounds me
And Then the Boom
Noises that would go unnoticed any other night
Echo through the hall
And grow and come to life
They grow limbs and manes
And claws and teeth
And a blood lust…
But it’s just my cat.
I’ve lost my mind.
Burglars materialize
Because it’s that sort of night
I know it’s impractical
People, regardless of occupation don’t materialize
And this weather only suits them in the movies
And then Killers Materialize
For this I blame Grimsley Graham and the book he assigned to us last year
A book I read on a night like this
People, regardless of occupation, do not materialize
And killing for laughs is impractical
And where could they hide my body on a night like this?
Why do I do this every time?
I hate it when the power goes out.

Check Us Out

Check me out, I'm invisible 
You can't see me, you can't see me
Check me out, I'm invisible
You can't see me at all

Check me out, I'm invincible
You can't see me, You can't hurt me
Check me out, I'm invincible
You can't touch me at all

Check me out, I'm untouchable
Flying high, You can't reach me
Check me out, I'm untouchable
You can't reach me at all

Check me out, I'm invincible
This boy can shield me, He can save me
Check me out, I'm invincible
He won't let you touch me at all

Check me out, I'm insufferable
Sickly sweet and in love
Check me out, I'm insufferable
I don't have any doubts at all

Check us out, we're invincible
You can't touch us, you can't reach us
Check us out we're invincible
We couldn't be happier at all
