I saw it crawling around my living room, at first I thought it was a cricket that escaped from my Gecko’s tank. That was until I turned the lights on.

Earwig
Dear Mike,
This is an Earwig, an insect that is common in gardens. We have identified it as a Striped Earwig, Labidura riparia, based on this photo posted to BugGuide. According to BugGuide, it: “Preys on various invertebrates, but may occasionally switch to plant material.”
