Paper bats above the door
A painted grin behind the glass
The sign said 'ONE AT A TIME'
I went in laughing. Then it locked.

The lights came on. The walls were black
No handle where the handle was
A hundred pinholes in the steel
And every one of them looked up

I breathe in - the ceiling falls
I hold it - nothing moves at all
A whisper crawls along the grate:
"Don't look up. Don't make it wait."

Who's watching me?
    Who's watching me?
    Through every little hole in the wall

Give me air
    Give me room
    Don't let the ceiling fall

One at a time
    One at a time
    Then why do all these voices
    Answer when I call?

Behind the grate, a child recites
The bedtime prayer I used to know
Then someone with my own voice says,
"We have nowhere left to go."

I close my eyes. The walls move in.
I open them. They stay that way.
My shadow mouths a little word
A heartbeat before I say it

The numbers blink. They count me twice.
A voice says, "Don't believe your eyes."
I hear my name from just outside
In a voice that sounds exactly like mine

Who's watching me?
    Who's watching me?
    Through every little hole in the wall

Give me air
    Give me room
    Don't let the ceiling fall

One at a time
    One at a time
    Then why do all these voices
    Answer when I call?

Knock, knock.
Who's there?

"The part of you
That gets to leave."

Knock, knock.
Who's there?

"Keep your eyes shut.
Let me breathe."

Who's watching me?
    Who's wearing me?
    There's breathing on the other side

Give me air
    Give me room
    Or tell me where to hide

One at a time
    One at a time
    Then why can I hear my voice
    Calling someone else inside?

The latch clicks.
Footsteps pass.

My voice says from outside:

"Next."
