[Verse 1] A house at the treeline No porch light, no sound Moon on the window Cold on the ground The wind got nervous Then it left the room A board behind me moaned Like it knew my name too soon [Pre-Chorus] And the shadows lean in Like they’ve got a plan My pulse is a hammer In a shaking hand [Chorus] Don’t turn around Don’t turn around Something’s in the hall Don’t turn around Hold your breath now Hold your breath now It’s already here It’s already here [Verse 2] The door gave a shudder Like a warning bell I heard slow steps coming From the end of the spell The glass in the mirror Went black for a second I caught one pale eye And my spine just reckoned [Pre-Chorus] Every lock on the frame Feels paper-thin Every prayer I know Is wearing thin [Chorus] Don’t turn around Don’t turn around Something’s in the hall Don’t turn around Hold your breath now Hold your breath now It’s already here It’s already here [Verse 3] The chair tipped over No hand, no shove Just that heavy silence Filling up the room above I backed to the wall I could taste my fear Then a low voice scraped Like a nail near my ear [Bridge] You can run from the dark You can call my name But the night keeps score And it plays that game One more step Then the floorboard cries One cold glance And the truth survives [Chorus] Don’t turn around Don’t turn around Something’s in the hall Don’t turn around Hold your breath now Hold your breath now It’s already here It’s already here [Verse 4] By the edge of morning I was still awake With my back to the door And my hands on my fate The birds started singing Like nothing had been wrong But the house kept breathing In a broken song [Spoken Word Outro] Listen... If you hear the boards complain, if the room goes still, if the air grows cold enough to count, leave the door unlatched. Some things don’t come in. Some things were already there.
