[Verse 1] Yeah, I’m the ache in your attic, addict for agony, actively gnashing Blackened enamel, I’m hacking your habits, your happiness hacked into fragments Cracking your cabinet, rats in the rafters, laughter that latches and laps at your panic Back of the chapel, I’m tapping the candles, the wax in your wounds is a sacrament Catacomb cardigan, carcass cologne Carving my catechism clean through your phone Static in bone marrow, pharaoh in ferrofluid Tearing your terror into two when I chew it Teeth like a trap in a music box, tick Turn of the key and your heartbeat skips Syllables spill like a slit wrist script Slick little lisp when the split tongue hisses (sshh) Click in the dark, then a glitch in your vision I’m in the algorithm of your indecision Every little whisper in the window when it whistles Is a sick premonition that I’m feeding on your system Crawlspace priest with the small waist grin Jaw unhinged, let it fall, cave in All gray skin with the long blade spin Drawn face in your hallway, “Come play, friend” [Chorus] I put my teeth in the dark when you fall asleep And every little heartbeat’s something I eat (yeah) You feel a nail on your neck when you start to breathe That’s me, that’s me, that’s me (don’t speak) I put my teeth in the dark where your secrets bleed And every buried memory’s something I feed (uh) You hear a laugh in the wall when you try to leave That’s me, that’s me, that’s me [Verse 2] I’m the pulse in the pipes, in the paint, in the plaster, a past you abandoned but never unlatch Patchwork panic, I’m stapling habits, I’m wrapping your trauma in tattered old jackets Backwards Latin in the black mass chatter, brain matter spattered on a stained glass mattress Fast-track wrath, every breath back-masked, hear my name crawl out of your throat when you gasp Grin like a jack o’ lantern, antlers Growing out the hole where your hope once answered Candles dance on the damp chipped banister Hands in the vent, let me chant in the vents, sir Choke on a joke that I wrote in a circle of salt that I swapped for your serotonin Every little coping mechanism that you built is a brittle little bone, watch me corrode it I am the crack in the crib, in the crib sheet I am the itch in the stitch of your ripped dreams I am the drip in the sink when you think clean I am the print in the pitch-black split screen Body in the wardrobe, cord choke chorus Orphan in the floorboard, bored and porous Hoarding organs like ornate orchids Orc with a torch in your orbit (run, forest) You can pray to a god, but I wrote that script Put a cross in your mouth till your molars chip Every halo hangs on a broken wrist Every hope you hold is a loaded myth [Chorus] I put my teeth in the dark when you fall asleep And every little heartbeat’s something I eat (yeah) You feel a nail on your neck when you start to breathe That’s me, that’s me, that’s me (don’t speak) I put my teeth in the dark where your secrets bleed And every buried memory’s something I feed (uh) You hear a laugh in the wall when you try to leave That’s me, that’s me, that’s me (can’t leave)
