Lyrics

The city skin
It fits too tight
In the late hot summer sweat
The kids come looking for a fight

And everywhere
The sirens call
And the gods that built these walls
Are taking bets to watch you fall

But in the underground
There are no names
Just a kick drum heartbeat
Pounding insane
On stranger’s lips and in our veins
We grind out the freedom with our chains
It’s the friction

Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction
Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction

The static sparks
Across the wires
And the wind blows in from elsewhere
Catching embers of desire

But the flames
Are in our hearts
And the longing floods the circuit
We peel our masks off in the dark

But in the underground
There are no names
Just a kick drum heartbeat
Pounding insane
On stranger’s lips and in our veins
We grind out the freedom with our chains
It’s the friction

Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction
Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction

Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction
Come closer to me
Can I breathe you I need to
Come closer to me
Do you know what you do?
It’s the friction

It’s the friction

Singles from Horror Show

    Released: March 3, 2021

Horror Show is the second extended play (EP) by The Midnight. It was initially released through Counter Records on October 16, 2020, exclusively through Amazon Music for streaming.[1][2] The EP was made available on all platforms on March 19, 2021, following the release of Neon Medusa as a single earlier in the month.[3]

Background and composition

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted The Midnight's plans to tour and promote their new album, Monsters. To get fans engaged with the band during the pandemic, an alternate reality game (ARG) began on September 24, 2020, and continued through October 15, 2020, with fans working together each day remotely to solve clues and discover hidden prizes. On October 13, 2020, the prize was a link to an empty Dropbox folder labeled "The Midnight - New Album". A Twitch channel by the name of "halfinlightandhalfindark" (a reference to a lyric in Last Train) was also discovered, and the channel posted a message stating "WEDNESDAY 10/14 @ 12 PM EST."[4] At that time, the EP was streamed for the first time and its title of Horror Show was also revealed. After the stream ended, it was confirmed that the EP would release on October 16, 2020. The EP's initial exclusivity to Amazon Music was in part due to the company helping fund its production. During the time of the original October release, physical copies of Horror Show were available to pre-order from the band's online store, which included a download link to a digital version of the EP including the instrumentals.[5]

Four of the six songs on Horror Show were co-produced by Essenger.[6] The album also features a new collaboration with Nikki Flores, a cover of the 1978 Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith hit single Because The Night.
