[Verse 1] Snow on the doorframe. Blood in the seam. You came in breathing. Now nobody’s clean. One shape, too many. One smile, too wide. Scratch on the metal— something crawled inside. I saw your shadow move wrong on the wall. I know that look now— that ain’t you at all. [Pre-Chorus] Lock it down. Burn the line. Check your hands. Check your eyes. If it speaks, don’t listen. If it screams, don’t run. We’re all in the cellar with the same red sun. [Chorus] The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (It wears your face) The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (And kills your faith) [Verse 2] The kennel went quiet. Then came the snap. One chain on the floor and a man laid back. Teeth in the darkness. Skin like wax. Heard that body rip like a sack of glass. Guess what? We’re copies if the fever wins. Nerves all twitching under borrowed skin. You look at your brother, he looks at you. Who’s been replaced now? Who still tells the truth? [Pre-Chorus] Lock it down. Cut the light. Hear that growl? It’s got our lives. If it shifts, it’s lying. If it smiles, it’s war. We’re one wrong heartbeat from opening the door. [Chorus] The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (It wears your face) The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (And kills your faith) [Bridge] I don’t trust my pulse now. I don’t trust your plea. Every grin in this room looks fake to me. Melt the whole cabin. Seal the whole hole. Better freeze this nightmare than lose my soul. [Breakdown] Chains! Teeth! Hands on the steel! Who’s human? Who’s real? Chains! Teeth! Pray if you can! Cold in the bones— not a man! [Final Chorus] The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (It wears your face) The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (And kills your faith) The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (We stay awake) The thing is here, here The thing is here, here (Till dawn breaks)
