Music video
The music video shows a woman (portrayed by Heidi Marnhout) waking up on a bed in the middle of a forest at night. As she steps out, she steps on a ground of worms. She runs trying to escape the forest and sees a man in a bath tub full of grub worms and sees a tree with the word "RUN" both capitalized and in blood. The female also gets chased by somebody who appears to be a ghost. In the end, she wakes up believing it was just a dream but her feet are covered in mud and there are worms all over and around her clock. The band are in the music video performing in a forest.
