God Sleeps in the Crawlspace

V5.5

[Intro] [Quiet, unsettling, whispered] Something's moving in the walls... [Verse 1] [Low, restrained, uneasy] The floorboards breathe beneath my feet A heartbeat buried in concrete Dust hangs heavy in the air Like old confessions left to rot there The house remembers every lie Keeps them stacked up, dry and high Every room a crooked shrine To every fault I've called mine [Pre-Chorus] [Slow build, tense] I hear it scratching after dark Like teeth against the inside of my heart [Chorus] [Heavy, powerful, harmonized] God sleeps in the crawlspace Underneath the boards Listening to broken men And keeping score God sleeps in the crawlspace Beneath the stains and mold Watching all the secrets People never told [Verse 2] [Brooding, hypnotic] The wallpaper peels like skin Trying to let the daylight in But every crack just grows more deep And every promise dies in sleep The silence hums behind the walls Like distant funeral calls I swear I heard my own name there Spoken softly through the air [Pre-Chorus] [Growing intensity] The house is hungry once again It feeds on fear and swallows friends [Chorus] [Heavy, layered harmonies] God sleeps in the crawlspace Underneath the boards Listening to broken men And keeping score God sleeps in the crawlspace Beneath the stains and mold Watching all the secrets People never told [Bridge] [Half-time, eerie] Maybe heaven never left Maybe heaven never came Maybe all that's underneath us Knows us better than our names [Building, desperate] And every prayer I ever whispered Still echoes through the beams Like a nail driven through a photograph Of someone else's dreams [Guitar Solo] [Wailing, mournful, emotional] [Final Chorus] [Huge, anguished, layered harmonies] God sleeps in the crawlspace Underneath the boards Listening to broken men And keeping score God sleeps in the crawlspace Beneath the stains and mold Watching all the secrets People never told [Outro] [Slow, fading, haunted] Something's moving in the walls... Something's moving in the walls... [Whispered] And it knows my name...
