[Intro]
(Whispered voices)
(Clean guitar)
[Verse 1]
There’s a room below my thoughts
Where the daylight never goes
I keep your picture on the wall
Just to watch the colors rot
Every night I hear you breathe
From the corner of the bed
Though I know you’re not there
Though I know you’re only dead
[Refrain]
Don’t leave…
Don’t leave me with myself
Don’t leave…
Don’t leave me with myself
[Verse 2]
I have learned the shape of silence
I have worn it like a skin
Every mirror in this house
Shows a stranger looking in
There’s a shadow in the hallway
And it knows me by my name
When it speaks with your voice
I answer all the same
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I still trace the marks you left
On the chambers of my mind
Like a wound that won’t close
Like a god that won’t die
The walls are growing closer now
The ceiling sinking low
And every thought I try to hide
Already seems to know
[Refrain]
Don’t leave…
Don’t leave me with myself
Don’t leave…
Don’t leave me with myself
[Bridge]
If I open every door
Will I find you waiting there?
Or only pieces of myself
Hanging in the air?
[Haunting Outro]
In the room below…
In the room below…
I hear you breathing
When I breathe alone
In the room below…
In the room below…
No one ever leaves
The room below…
