[Intro] It’s been weeks since you took a walk I hear the blood running through your veins You’re too scared to come out But I need your help Please… [Verse 1] Shadows crawl across the walls at night They spell your name in crooked light I’m on my knees at the closet door Listening for footsteps, but I’m not sure Are you a monster, or am I your dream? Both of us whisper, but neither will scream [Chorus] Heavy breathing I hear you breathing Heavy breathing Come out before I come in [Verse 2] Oh, my closet monster Don’t you wanna be friends? I can help you, just come out of there Why are you so scared of me? I’m just a little boy And I need your help Please… [Pre-Chorus] I press my ear to the wood, it’s warm Your heartbeat knocks like a thunderstorm I smell dust, old toys, broken skin Is the monster out there, or locked within? [Chorus] Heavy breathing I hear you breathing Heavy breathing Come out before I come in 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 [Verse 3] Too scared to come out, my closet monster Heavy breathing, why you scared of me? I ain’t seen the light of day in two months I’m a moth and I’m on my last legs Lost my spot in the spots I got in my head Ain’t slept in days, my face feels caved in I’m your caveman, scribblin’ poems in the dark You only read ’em when I’m gone And the world will hear my name when I’m dead [Refrain] Ain’t slept in days, my face feels caved in I’m your caveman, scribblin’ poems in the dark You only read ’em when I’m gone And the world will hear my name when I’m dead [Verse 4] Breathing in the closet I don’t know if I should open it And you think I’m scared of you But you’re the one who can’t come out We’re both just shadows in the hallway light We’re both just ghosts waiting for night [Bridge] I hear your fingernails drag down the door I hear my own voice echo once more Maybe you’re me and I’m you in disguise Maybe this closet’s a womb, maybe it’s a lie [Pre-Chorus] Closet monster Heavy breathing Please come out, don’t cry I’ll hold you And sing you a lullaby Closet monster I hear you breathing [Chorus] Closet monster Closet monster Closet monster Closet monster [Verse 5] If I open this door, will the world end? Or will I finally make a friend? Will you pull me in or will you step out? Will we both vanish without a sound? [Outro] Heavy breathing, slow and deep Is it yours, or is it me? Closet monster, closet monster, Maybe you’ve been me all along Closet monster, closet monster, This is our last lullaby song.
