[Intro] [spoken]
all work... no play...
all work and no... no play...
all work and no play makes... makes...
jack a... dull... boy...
all work... no play...
[Verse 1]
Empty halls in frozen light,
Cold blue shadows, silent night,
Footsteps echo, not my own,
The house is speaking through my bones.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every thought is not my own,
I feel the house inside my bones.
[Chorus]
Red in the mirror, red in the snow,
In my head — it starts to grow,
Round and round, it pulls me low,
Red in the mirror, let me go.
[Verse 2]
Static smiles on TV screens,
Broken dreams and in-betweens,
Every room repeats my face,
Same old fear in every place.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every future rots in place,
Time is just another face.
[Chorus]
Red in the mirror, red in the snow,
In my head — it starts to grow,
Round and round, it pulls me low,
Red in the mirror, let me go.
[Bridge]
Redrum… murder… in every room,
A child’s breath in a wooden tomb,
I wasn’t lost before I came,
I wasn’t empty, I had a name.
The house is dreaming — and I’m inside,
A sleeping scream with open eyes.
[Spoken]
Little pigs... little pigs... let me come in.
Not by the hair of your chiny-chin-chin?
Well then I'll huff and I'll puff,
and I'll blow your house in.
[Final Chorus]
Red in the mirror, red in the snow,
In my head — it starts to grow,
Round and round, it pulls me low,
Red in the mirror, let me go.
[Outro]
The snow falls quiet, the walls still breathe,
The house is done — but not with me.
