[Verse 1] Every night it finds my bed Red eyes burning in my head Long black fingers on the frame It knows me like it knows my name It leaves wet prints on the floor Then it grins and wants some more [Pre-Chorus] I lock the door I say my prayers It laughs like smoke It climbs the stairs [Chorus] Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) Night by night, it won't let me I wake up choking in the dark With that red hand around my heart Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) [Verse 2] It wears my fear like stolen skin Sits on my chest and crawls back in The mirror bends, the corners bend I see its shape before I sleep again I run through halls that never end But it gets closer every time I descend [Pre-Chorus] I lock the door I say my prayers It laughs like smoke It climbs the stairs [Chorus] Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) Night by night, it won't let me I wake up choking in the dark With that red hand around my heart Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) [Bridge] If I stay awake, it waits If I close my eyes, it breaks My name in teeth, my breath in chains It feeds on dreams, it knows the way So I keep the lamp alive Just to make it through the night [Final Chorus] Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) Night by night, it won't let me I wake up screaming in the dark With that red hand around my heart Night by night, it comes for me (comes for me) Night by night, it comes for me
