[Verse 1] Floorboards breathe Something in the plaster talks Names in the dust Dragged along the hallway chalk Coffee cups shake Windows rattle in their frames Cold spots bloom Calling us by different names [Chorus] There’s a bag of bones in the wall All the whispers All the scratching Now we found the source of it all Every shadow Every laughing We thought it was the wind at night But we fed a buried curse too long There’s a bag of bones in the wall And now i’m singing this rotten song [Verse 2] Paint peels back Like a lip before a snarl Mirror fog writes “Leave” in letters long and sharp Footsteps fall Just ahead Just out of sight Children hum In a room that has no light [Chorus] There’s a bag of bones in the wall All the whispers All the scratching Now we know the source of it all Every shadow Every laughing We thought it was the wind at night But we fed a buried curse too long There’s a bag of bones in the wall And now i’m singing this rotten song [Bridge] Hammer hits brick Dust blooms Thick Bitter taste Cracked plaster splits Like teeth in a broken face Canvas sack torn Knuckles Broken ribs A crooked spine Every hollow eye Fills the room Invades our minds [Chorus] There’s a bag of bones in the wall All the whispers All the scratching Now we know the heart of it all Every spirit always watching We thought it was a haunted house But the house was just a borrowed throne There’s a bag of bones in the wall And tonight they wanna claim their home
