[Verse 1] I keep it tucked in the fold of night Where the bad things bloom out of sight Cold hand, warm grin, wrong-side smile I been that problem for a long while Black coat brushing on the broken floor Hear my name when the loose boards moan You want the truth? It bites, it drips I speak in cuts, I move in slips [Pre-Chorus] You feel that chill? That’s me gettin’ close You hear that hiss? That’s your shadow on roast Hold that breath I’m right in the seam Between your fear And the thing you dream [Chorus] evil functions evil functions Keep it hidden, keep it running evil functions evil functions Dark love, deep cut, always coming [Verse 2] I don’t beg, I just break the chain Tap once, and the room goes strange Pale wall, red mark, snapped-back stare I leave my fingerprints in the air Fast talk, sharp teeth, wired-up nerves I twist the knife with the words you serve If you came for peace, wrong door, wrong hall I make a saint out of a wrecking ball [Pre-Chorus] You feel that chill? That’s me gettin’ close You hear that hiss? That’s your shadow on roast Hold that breath I’m right in the seam Between your fear And the thing you dream [Chorus] evil functions evil functions Keep it hidden, keep it running evil functions evil functions Dark love, deep cut, always coming [Bridge] I was born where the lights went thin Where the smile hides the teeth within Say my name, then the walls lean in Say it soft, let the cold rush in [Final Chorus] evil functions evil functions Keep it hidden, keep it running evil functions evil functions Dark love, deep cut, always coming evil functions evil functions When I move, the whole room thunders evil functions evil functions Say it low, and the night gets younger
