Music video
The video was directed by Nicolas Hill and produced by Mark Marinaccio.
The music video for the song shows the band performing the song inside and outside of a house, as well as a story involving a man (portrayed by vocalist Nathan Leone) and his girlfriend walking around the house seeing strange occurrences involving each other. Towards the end, Nathan leaves the house and starts hammering wood in a small room whilst also holding his head and swaying back and forth as if he is in pain, and the video ends with Nathan curled up in a corner in a dark wooden room in despair.
