The Walls Have Eyes
THE WALLS HAVE EYES [Intro — ticking clock, whispered] Shh… Don’t say a word. They’re listening. [Verse 1 — intimate, rhythmic] Little cracks along the ceiling Something moving underneath Every picture in the hallway Turns its head to look at me I can hear the floorboards breathing Feel a shadow passing by There’s a whisper in the wallpaper Telling me another lie [Pre-Chorus — heartbeat bass] Left, right Out of sight Someone’s watching me tonight Close the curtains Kill the lights But I can feel them… [Chorus — heavy bass drop] The walls have eyes! The walls have eyes! They know the secrets that I hide Run away Turn out the light But there’s nowhere left to hide The walls have eyes! The walls have eyes! Every shadow comes alive Oh-oh-oh, they never sleep And they’re looking straight at me! [Post-Chorus — whispered, rhythmic] Watch me, watch me Everywhere Watch me, watch me Who’s in there? Don’t look back. [Verse 2 — darker, playful] Red lips painted on the mirror But I never touched the glass Someone’s laughing in the kitchen With a voice from my own past All the doors are slowly closing Every clock is running late And the writing on the ceiling says… We know what you did yesterday. [Pre-Chorus] Left, right Out of sight Someone’s watching me tonight Hold your breath Don’t ask why You can’t escape… [Chorus — layered vocals] The walls have eyes! The walls have eyes! They know the secrets that I hide Run away Turn out the light But there’s nowhere left to hide The walls have eyes! The walls have eyes! Every shadow comes alive Oh-oh-oh, they never sleep And they’re looking straight at me! [Bridge — everything cuts out] Knock. Knock. Knock. Who’s there? Silence. I said… Who’s there? A whisper from every direction: You. [Final Chorus — distorted, explosive] THE WALLS HAVE EYES! THE WALLS HAVE EYES! Every secret comes to light I can run I can fight But I can’t escape my mind The walls have eyes! The walls have eyes! Now I finally realize All the things that I was hiding… Were the things I feared inside! [Outro — one whispered voice] Maybe nobody’s watching. Maybe… It’s just me. Click. [Silence]
