[Intro] Count the teeth behind the grin Hold your breath; it’s closing in [Verse 1] Cold handprints bloom on the window glass Something in the hall just let me pass My pulse trips hard when the floorboards bend There’s a second heartbeat that won’t pretend [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn around, don’t make a sound The thing with claws is near me now [Chorus] Run, run—hear it drag that chain Black-eyed grin in the pouring rain Scream, scream—let the whole night know When the red lights flash, there’s nowhere to go [Verse 2] A wet, low growl from beneath the stairs A shape unfolds where there’s nobody there My shaking hands can’t find the door Three long scratches rake across the floor [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn around, don’t make a sound The thing with claws is near me now [Chorus] Run, run—hear it drag that chain Black-eyed grin in the pouring rain Scream, scream—let the whole night know When the red lights flash, there’s nowhere to go [Bridge] One breath left, one step back Teeth like knives in the pitch-black I shut my eyes; it says my name Then silence swallows up the flame [Final Chorus] Run, run—hear it drag that chain Black-eyed grin in the pouring rain Scream, scream—let the whole night know When the red lights flash, there’s nowhere to go [Outro] Count the teeth behind the grin Hold your breath—it’s closing in
