Under Your Bed

[Verse 1] Smell of mold and copper coins In the cracks of my old room She hums my name Low and broken Like a hymn out of tune Eyes open in the dark I feel her at my feet She isn’t hiding in the shadows She’s just waiting for me [Chorus] She wants to be the reason you look under your bed Claws in every secret that you never said She doesn’t want you Just the dream in your head Too much Too loud Too real Too hungry instead She wants the idea of you Under your bed [Verse 2] She holds onto need like metal Warm with someone else’s blood Every promise that I couldn’t keep Bubbles up like rust and flood Wanted more than I could carry More than skin and bone could take I gave her all my shaking pieces She still called it a mistake [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] She’s back at the door Click of the lock Taste of fear on my tongue Was it wrong from before Or is jealousy singing the songs we never sung She’s back to get what she wants But it won’t be enough this time Just a ghost of a ghost In a mouth full of grime [crescendo] She wraps her rage around my ribs Every breath a borrowed debt She loved the hunger Not my heart That’s the part she forgets [Chorus]
