[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Footsteps
In your skull
Not the hall
[Verse 1]
You can run
You can hide
You can fight
I’m the monster crawling at night
In the crack in the wall by your bed
In the prayer that you choke back instead
Breathing heat down the back of your neck
Every shadow a car crash wreck
I am hunger with a human face
Every mirror just a crime scene trace
[Chorus]
I’m a monster born of night
I’m the teeth in all your lies
Every bruise you fell on first
Every wish that came out cursed
I’m the monster born of night
From the fear behind your eyes
You can beg
You can deny
But you made me when you lied
[Verse 2]
All the secrets you buried in bone
I can hear every crack in the stone
Every name that you spit in the dirt
I collect every splinter of hurt
I’m the echo in the locked-tight room
I’m the cancer in the sweet perfume
You drew lines
Then you crossed them all
I’m the weight that will watch you fall
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You built me
Brick by bloody brick
Thought the dark was empty
I was learning every trick
[harsh vocals]
Every promise that you broke
Every cruel
Offhand joke
I was listening
I was fed
Now I’m living in your head
[Chorus]
