V5.5

[Intro — whispered] Don’t look at the corners… Don’t listen when it calls your name… The house remembers everything… [Verse 1] I hear the nails inside the ceiling scratching out my sins Every room got teeth now — Every doorway lets them in Mirror full of moving faces Skin that doesn’t fit Something in the basement Learning how my heartbeat ticks The lights all flicker violent Like the house is getting fed And every step I take tonight Sounds like another body dragged [Pre-Break] There’s something breathing in the walls… And it breathes when I breathe… [Breakdown] TEAR — THE — PLASTER — DOWN! I KNOW THERE’S SOMETHING UNDERNEATH! CUT — THE — POWER — NOW! THE DARK WAS NEVER ASLEEP! [Chorus] THE WALLS ARE BREATHING THEY CALL MY NAME IN STATIC WAVES I FEEL THEIR FINGERS IN MY SHADOW PULLING ME INTO THE GRAVE NO GOD INSIDE THIS HOUSE TONIGHT JUST BROKEN TEETH AND STARING EYES IF I DON’T MAKE IT THROUGH THE MORNING — BURN THE WHOLE DAMN THING ALIVE [Verse 2] There’s laughter in the vents now Children crying through the sink Every photograph is changing Every blink skips time between Something wearing my reflection Stands behind me when I sleep And every time I shut my eyes I feel it climbing out of me [Bridge — slower / haunting] I tried to lock the doors… But the locks turned with no hands… I buried all the memories… NOW THEY’RE CRAWLING THROUGH THE VENTS! [Final Breakdown] I CAN FEEL IT — UNDER MY SKIN! UNDER MY BONES! INSIDE MY HEAD! THE HOUSE ISN’T HAUNTED — IT’S HUNGRY! [Outro — distorted whisper] You were never trapped inside the house… The house was trapped inside you…
