House of Horrors

[Verse 1] Front gate rusted Name on the mailbox crossed out twice Porch light flickers Then it dies You still turn the handle (why?) Floorboards breathing Family photos with the eyes scratched white Clock hands frozen at midnight Something in the hallway listens [Chorus] Welcome to the house of horrors Where every door remembers your name You can run down crooked corridors But the walls still learn your shame You said you weren’t afraid of monsters Now you’re staring at your own reflection Welcome to the house of horrors Every mirror shows your worst confession [Verse 2] Kitchen chairs tipped Teacup waiting at an empty seat Your voice echoes Sounds off-beat Like someone else repeats you Writing on the wallpaper “Don’t go upstairs” in a child’s red scrawl Step three Step four That cold crawl Up your spine like it knew you [Chorus] Welcome to the house of horrors Where every door remembers your name You can run down crooked corridors But the walls still learn your shame You said you weren’t afraid of monsters Now you’re staring at your own reflection Welcome to the house of horrors Every mirror shows your worst confession [Bridge] You find your room Same old posters Same old bed But the diary on the nightstand Writes itself in your head (oh) [Chorus] Welcome to the house of horrors Where every door remembers your name You can run down crooked corridors But the walls still learn your shame You said you weren’t afraid of monsters Now you’re staring at your own reflection Welcome to the house of horrors You walk out But it comes along Because the house of horrors Was hiding in you all along
