[singer A] Why do I rest... In this eternal night? Mold shadow creeping on the ceiling, Name tags hanging on the bedroom door. Dust settles over old photographs— I eat by myself in the dark on the floor. I talk to the empty chairs, Set plates where the shadows sit. Lipstick stained on a coffee cup... And no one ever drinks from it. Everyone I love is dead! But they’re sleeping in my head (Stay...) I can hear their teeth on the edge of my name, Cold, dead fingers crawling down my neck! [melodic transition] [singer B] You are next... And I swear I see them crawling through the frame! Everyone I love is dead... And they won’t go away! A phone screen full of ghost numbers, I call just to listen to the tone. Every ring is a knotted rope, Tied tight to my broken bones. Their clothes still hang in the closet, Like skinned, empty saints. I wear their jackets to bed at night... Till my skin smells like their faint decay. Everyone I love is dead! But they’re sleeping in my head (Stay...) I can hear their teeth on the edge of my name, Cold, dead fingers crawling down my neck! [transition] [singer A] You are next... And I swear I see them crawling through the frame! Everyone I love is dead... And they won’t go away! If I follow the trail of flies Down the heartbeat of the stairs... Will I find them trapped inside the drywall? Carved beneath forgotten prayers? Take my tongue! Take my sight! Take the breath I never spend! If I bury myself tonight... WILL THIS HAUNTING FINALLY END?! Everyone I love is dead... Everyone I love is dead... And I lie there... waiting... Calling out their names. Why do I rest in this eternal night?
