Don't think about it at nine

Halloween's a month away
And I'm starting to feel
That the monsters out there
Are just a bit too real

A distraction from the awful, at nine

Our countdown continues
October's nearly here
And with this year's losses
There is a mounting fear
But do not freeze in horror
Never bow your head
Because they are remembered
They are not truly dead

Remember the date at nine

As Halloween approaches
I can feel it getting nearer
The separation between weeks
Is slowly getting clearer 

Calendars make sense again at nine

I know we've all lost sense of time
Let me make one thing clear
Halloween will be next month
Which means it's nearly here
