No Caller ID

[Verse 1] I slip in quiet through the glow of your screen A phantom signal where your safe world used to be You hear me laughing from the edge of every room A voice that blooms like poison flowers in the gloom Your shaking hands betray the fear behind your face You lock the windows, but you cannot lock this place I know the pattern of the footsteps that you hide You never see me when I’m standing just outside [Pre-Chorus] I’m in the static on the line The breath between your warning signs The pulse that races in your chest The shadow leaning over death [Chorus] No caller ID But you know it’s me Breathing through the wire Like a ghost in the machine No caller ID Now you’re mine to keep Every ring gets closer Every scream belongs to me [Verse 2] I turn your hallway to a stage beneath the red A game of cat and mouse where all your friends wind up dead You write your ending with the panic in your veins I carve my name into the silence that remains The mask is smiling though you’ll never see it crack I let you run because I love to pull you back You think you’re clever with your rules and horror scenes But I rewrite the script inside your broken dreams [Pre-Chorus 2] I’m in the whisper in your ear The reason every light feels near The knife-edge gleaming in the dark The hand that stops your beating heart [Chorus] No caller ID But you know it’s me Breathing through the wire Like a ghost in the machine No caller ID Now you’re mine to keep Every ring gets closer Every scream belongs to me [Bridge] Run through the house, run through the hall I hear the fear inside it all Your final line, your final breath I am the dial tone of death [Final Chorus] No caller ID Still you answer me Every shattered heartbeat Is another symphony No caller ID There’s no way to leave When the last line disconnects You’ll be buried in the scream
