Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Found it in the basement Dust on the knobs Door half-shut Smelled like mildew and metal Like something crawling in my gut Handle cold as a headstone Wood carved up with teeth and nails Every hinge let out a secret Every shadow telling tales [Chorus] There’s an evil in the cabinet And it knows my name Every time that door starts creaking I can feel it taste my shame Pulling at the splinters Scratching through the grain There’s an evil in the cabinet And it knows my name [Verse 2] Voices in the keyhole Laughing low All out of tune Paint peeling off in fingerprints That move across the room Smell of sulfur Old perfume Photos nailed behind the frame My face burned out in every one But the eyes all look the same [Chorus] [Bridge] Nails in my pockets I count them one by one Whisper to the wood “Take me when you’re done” Door swings open No wind No sound Just my own reflection Hanging upside down [Chorus]

rock, Thick, overdriven guitars in dropped tuning, male vocals with a ripped, strained edge. Verses sit on a stalking half-time groove with roomy live drums and a grimy bass line. Chorus explodes into a wall of fuzz, doubled vocals, and feedback swells. Bridge strips back to bass, toms, and distant screams before slamming into one last full-band chorus. Keep the mix raw, roomy, and a little unhinged., grunge
