[Intro]
No porch light, no warning bell
Tiny claws in the pantry shelf
Paper moon, sugar on the floor
Something small is at the door
[Verse 1]
You left a peach by the window screen
Now the whole room smells too sweet, too clean
Little eyes blink from the fruit bowl rim
Every soft breath belongs to them
They move in pairs through the cupboard cracks
Silver teeth and a midnight knack
One takes the key, one kills the phone
One learns the shape of your stepping stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t turn around
Don’t make a sound
They know your name
They know your house
[Chorus]
Sugar gliders, savage in the rafters
Tiny kings with butcher laughter
Sweet little faces, black little eyes
Chewing through the lock while the daylight dies
Sugar gliders, circle overhead
Leave the honey, count the dead
Run if you want, hide if you dare
They’re already breathing in your hair
[Verse 2]
Rap on the table, tap in the vent
Every clean promise gets bent and spent
Kitchen clock skips from one to four
Wet little footprints cross the floor
You hear one squeak, then another replies
A crooked choir in the insulation cries
No grand beast, no towering frame
Just a pocket-sized pack with a patient game
[Hook]
Small teeth, big appetite
Soft wings cutting through the night
Sweet face, savage heart
Count to three, then fall apart
[Chorus]
Sugar gliders, savage in the rafters
Tiny kings with butcher laughter
Sweet little faces, black little eyes
Chewing through the lock while the daylight dies
Sugar gliders, circle overhead
Leave the honey, count the dead
Run if you want, hide if you dare
They’re already breathing in your hair
[Hardcore Break]
Bite down!
Lights out!
No safe room!
They break through!
Claws on glass!
Teeth through brass!
Hear that wingbeat?
Too late to pass!
[Rock Verse]
The ceiling caves in like a rotten grin
A thousand small shadows come flooding in
Your prayer hits the wall and falls in two
They don’t want the room—they want you
[Bridge]
Maybe the sweetest thing you ever knew
Was only waiting to get through
Maybe the quiet under your bed
Was learning every word you said
[Final Chorus]
Sugar gliders, savage in the rafters
Tiny kings with butcher laughter
Sweet little faces, black little eyes
Chewing through the lock while the daylight dies
Sugar gliders, circle overhead
Leave the honey, count the dead
Run if you want, hide if you dare
They’re already breathing in your hair
[Outro]
No porch light
No warning bell
Sugar on the floor
Something small
Something near
Something at the door
