The Night He Came Home (The Final Girl Remix)

[Intro] Pumpkins on the porch Knife in the sink Beer on the carpet Red on the pink Phone line dead Kids in the street Front door open Hear my heartbeat (fuck) [Verse 1] Breath in the mask, I stalk slow Kitchen tile cold on my bare toes You in my house, in my hell, you alone Every shadow in the hallway carved out of bone I watched you laugh while your friends got high You dropped that beer when you heard that cry I cut the lights, cut the path, cut the sound Every step that you take is my hunting ground Blood on the stairs like a breadcrumb trail You lock that door, I split that nail I’m in the closet, under the bed, in your head I’m the Shape of the shit that you always dread [Chorus] This is the night he came home And I’m not fucking dying in this town You wanna drag me like a ghost through these rooms? Bitch, I’m the one burning this house down (hey!) You got a mask, I got rage You got a knife, I got age I’ve been scared since I was eight years old Now I’m grown, and I’m taking your soul [Verse 2] I’m hiding in the curtains, lungs on fire Sweat in my eyes, step over the wire Trip on a body, that’s Jamie on the floor Hand on her mouth, she ain’t breathing no more You kick the door, frame cracks like a tooth Mirror on the wall shows me the truth He’s fucking huge, that blank-ass stare But I got his rhythm, I can feel him in the air Grab that hanger from the closet, jab his face He barely flinches, still closing space My ankle snaps when I hit those stairs But fear turns to fury when I taste that air [Chorus] This is the night he came home And I’m not fucking dying in this town You wanna drag me like a ghost through these rooms? Bitch, I’m the one burning this house down (yeah!) You got a mask, I got rage You got a knife, I got age I’ve been scared since I was eight years old Now I’m grown, and I’m taking your soul [Bridge] You ain’t death, you’re a man in a mask And I’m that girl that finishes the task (fuck you) You took my friends, I take your breath Staple your legend to a cheap-ass death Throw you from the window, hear that crunch But monsters always come back for one more punch Grab that steel from the knitting bag, feel it hum Aim for the heart when the boogeyman comes [Chorus] This is the night he came home And I’m not fucking dying in this town You wanna drag me like a ghost through these rooms? Bitch, I’m the one burning this house down You got a mask, I got rage You got a knife, I got age I’m the last one screaming in this haunted world This is The Shape vs the final girl
