The House That Screams gothic

V6

​[Intro] [Distant Screaming, Wet Squelching FX, Slow Heavy Sub-Bass Drone] ​[Verse 1] [Dissonant Piano, Creeping Industrial Beat] The wallpaper rots where the abscesses bleed The timber is pulsing, it knows what I need Shadows don't bend, they reach out and peel The skin from my throat just to check if it's real Footsteps are pounding inside of the drywall A phantom vibration that runs down the high hall The pendulum freezes, the clocks rot to rust And every breath taken is suffocating dust ​[Pre-Chorus] [Distorted Bass Drop, Heavy Tension Building] The floorboards are teeth snapping under my weight The foundation shifts as it seals up my fate A freezing fluid runs down my spine This isn't a building, it's a corpse by design ​[Chorus] [Crushing Wall of Sound, Low Guttural Screams] The house that screams, it digests the light It crushes your skull in the throat of the night Doors like iron jaws slam and lock tight You'll never crawl out to see the daylight The windows are blind eyes that savor your dread The hallway's a gullet that feeds on the dead ​[Verse 2] [Dissonant Strings, Harsh Static, Fast Heavy Drums] Cobwebs are cobwebs of dry, hardened veins The ceiling drips black down the rusting drain Laughter dissolves into liquid despair As something unholy strips oxygen from air The door frame is gaping, a jagged red mouth It swallows the north and it swallows the south The dead aren't just visiting, the dead are the floor And you are the marrow it's waiting there for ​[Pre-Chorus] [Rising Audio Feedback, Fast Double-Bass Drums] A freezing tongue licks the back of my neck My ribs start to splinter, my body a wreck It pulls me right under, dragged into the wood It does what a tomb always said that it would ​[Chorus] [Full Volume Distortion, Aggressive] The house that screams, it digests the light It crushes your skull in the throat of the night Doors like iron jaws slam and lock tight You'll never crawl out to see the daylight The windows are blind eyes that savor your dread The hallway's a gullet that feeds on the dead ​[Bridge] [Harsh Noise, Chaotic Guitar Riffs, Screeching Feedback] It digests your memories, it fractures your bone You're stitched to the plaster, you're buried in stone Don't look at the windows, don't step on the floor The house is a stomach that always wants more ​[Guitar Solo] [Dissonant, heavy dark Lead Guitar, Heavy Blast Beats] ​[Chorus] [Maximum Climax, Heavy Industrial Metal Riff] The house that screams, it digests the light It crushes your skull in the throat of the night Doors like iron jaws slam and lock tight You'll never crawl out to see the daylight The windows are blind eyes that savor your dread The hallway's a gullet that feeds on the dead ​[Outro] [Music Sudden Cut, Distorted Deep Whispering, Heavy Breathing FX] When a structure has eyes... You are already inside... [Wet Bone Snap FX] [Fade to silence]
