House goes dead, I know that sound, Fuck peace when the dark comes round. [Verse 1] (Low Rap|Clipped Flow|Internal Rhymes) Knife-edge moon cuts the laundromat sign, Blue TV glow leaks under the blinds. Phone goes black on the kitchen tile, Three knocks hit from the landing downstairs aisle. Wet soles drag through the entryway grit, Deadbolt shakes in the frame with it. Vent breath hisses through the laundry slot, Floorboards pop where the heat pipe's not. Grease prints stuck on the fridge-door chrome, Cheap lies crumpled in a takeout dome. Every thump has a stairwell face, Every shadow leans in, takes up space. I don't trust shit when the porch light dies, Got a storm locked up behind one eye. Fuck that peace with the fake front grin, Night shows teeth through the screen-door slit. [Pre-Chorus] (Build|Filtered Drums|Rising Grit) Curtains breathe, floorboards groan, Rain ticks Morse on a cracked-back bone. Cold walls pinch, nowhere to go, I don't sleep; I wait for you below. (whispered) Don't move. Don't blink. Don't breathe. (screamed) DON'T FUCKING SLEEP! [Chorus] (Full Band|Octave Doubles|Gang Vox) SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Don't trust that hush when the walls go cold. Don't trust that face when the lies get told. SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Night gets mean when the blue lights bloom, Bad feelings grow teeth in the room. Sleep with one eye open, fuck false peace, No trust, no rest, no release. ONE EYE ON DEATH! ONE EYE ON YOU! [Verse 2] (Hard Rap|808 Punches|Guitar Chugs) Three-oh-three, car door slam, Heartbeat stomps like a battering ram. Cheap feed glitches, hallway bends, Can't tell shadows from dead-end friends. Every lock gets checked twice, Every dark corner swallows light. Blocked-call buzz, unknown name, Same cold silence, same old game. Snake-tongue smiles, fake-ass friends, Trust gets buried where truth ends. Brave mouths crack when the room goes still, Big talk dies when the air turns chill. Boots by the bed, exits mapped, Eyes stay open, nerves stay snapped. No fucking comfort, no safe retreat, Just rain, cold walls, and a deadbolt beat. [Pre-Chorus] (Build|Sub Pulse|Rising Tension) One click left, one lock undone, Cold breath crawls where heat is gone. Count each beat till the next one lands, Dark keeps time with its ink-black hands. (whispered) Who's there? (screamed) WHO THE FUCK IS THERE?! [Chorus] (Full Band|Wide Guitars|Gang Vox) SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Don't trust that hush when the walls go cold. Don't trust that face when the lies get told. SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Night gets mean when the blue lights bloom, Bad feelings grow teeth in the room. Fuck false peace, no trust, no release, I keep my guard up; I don't know peace. ONE EYE ON DEATH! ONE EYE ON YOU! [Breakdown] (Half-Time|Chugs|808 Drops|Dead-Air Cuts) Click. (Impact) Clack. (Impact) Hear that shit? Something moved. No sleep. No trust. No peace in the dust. No light. No sound. No safe place now. (whispered) You hear that breathing? (silence) (screamed) THAT AIN'T MY FUCKING BREATHING! [Bridge] (Low Piano|Bowed Drone|Emotional Grit) Maybe the dark ain't alive, but it knows my name, Maybe fear is the spark and my mind's the flame. Maybe every whisper is blood in my ears, Maybe bad nights keep feeding these fears. Betrayal leaves ghosts where the truth once stood, And trust turns rotten where love once looked good. I can fight what's real, but the doubt cuts deep, The hardest damn war is the one without sleep. [Final Chorus] (Maximum Intensity|Full Band|Screams+Doubles) SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Don't trust that hush when the walls go cold. Don't trust that face when the lies get told. SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN! Hear the rain talk shit as the hours crawl by, Hear the floorboards crack while the shadows lie. Fuck that peace; I know what the dark can do! No trust left; got my eyes on you! ONE EYE ON DEATH! ONE EYE ON YOU! (screamed) FUCK THAT PEACE! I KNOW WHAT THE DARK CAN DO! [Outro] (Whisper|Sub Fade|Rain|Three Metal Knocks) Deadbolt click. Rain cuts the pane. Same damn room. Same damn pain. I check the lock. I watch the light. (whispered) Sleep with one eye open. (Three Knocks|Abrupt End)
