I Can Already Taste

[Intro — low pulse / distant breath / faint strings] (soft static… breath… silence) [Male — whisper, barely there] …I found you… [Verse 1] She whispers to herself “Something’s not right” Keys in her hand like claws Porch light flickers twice I feel like I’m being watched Neck hair up Skin tight Every step sounds louder In this too-quiet night [Chorus] Something is out here Something is wrong Every shadow leaning in Like it’s known me all along I hear your low breath Growling my name You say “I’ve seen you I’ve smelled you I can already taste” (oh) [Verse 2] Phone dead in her pocket Signal gone Full red Branches scrape the siding Like nails along her head Curtain moves a fraction But every window’s closed Her own reflection shifting Into something she’s been shown [Chorus] Something is out here Something is wrong Every shadow leaning in Like it’s known me all along I hear your low breath Growling my name You say “I’ve seen you I’ve smelled you I can already taste” [Bridge] Is it in the hallway Is it in her chest Is the monster in the mirror Or the tightness in her breath Footsteps on the ceiling Whisper in her face “You can lock every door I can already taste” (yeah) [Chorus] Something is out here Something is wrong Every shadow leaning in Like it’s known me all along I hear your low breath Growling my name You say “I’ve seen you I’ve smelled you I can already taste I can already taste”
