[Verse 1 — whispered close-mic; sparse guitar, melodic bass] The rug has found another hill I flatten it before I sleep By morning there's a little rise As though the house forgot to breathe [Pre-chorus — slow half-time; low melody] I know this room I know this room So why's the doorway new? [Chorus — heavy band enters; sing low, not shouted high] Something's moving underneath I can feel it through my feet Leave the lamp where I can see Something's moving underneath [Verse 2 — pull instruments back; quiet but firmer] The picture leans the other way The hall is longer than before I put my ear against the boards And hear a heel against the floor [Pre-chorus — bass moves; voice stays in low register] I know this room I know this room So why's the doorway new? [Chorus — thick guitars, grounded vocal] Something's moving underneath I can feel it through my feet Leave the lamp where I can see Something's moving underneath [Bridge — band thins to bass and kick; almost a whisper] No ghost, no warning Just a nail gone bad I pry up one loose floorboard And find the space we had [Final chorus — heavy, measured; no high scream] Something's moving underneath I can feel it through my feet Leave the lamp where I can see Something's moving underneath Underneath
