[Verse 1]
You said "relax
It’s just a game"
Counted slow against the wall
I laughed once
Then lost your voice
Somewhere down the hall
Every door slammed on my name
Every mirror turned me raw
I keep touching every frame
Like I’m tracing where you saw
[Pre-Chorus]
Floorboards breathing under feet
Shadows stretching
Getting teeth
You hide easy
I stay seen
Every secret stuck to me
[Chorus]
Hide and seek
You disappear
I split in three (oh)
You get peace
I get every missing piece
You say "run"
But I stay nailed into the scene
You find fun
I find all the parts of me
In this game you always leave
I just count what I can’t keep
Hide and seek
I’m the ghost that doesn’t leave
[Verse 2]
Found your note behind the door
Three blank lines
A folded edge
How you say so much with less
How you live on every hedge
I keep whispering your lies
Till they start to sound like mine
Turning corners
Chewing time
Till the walls all memorize
[Pre-Chorus]
Tiles are ticking
White and weak
Every silence has a leak
You make absence look so clean
I make drowning look routine
[Chorus]
Hide and seek
You disappear
I split in three (yeah)
You get sleep
I get distant ceiling beams
You say "run"
But I’m stapled to the scene
You find fun
I find every cracked belief
In this game you always leave
I just count what I can’t keep
Hide and seek
I’m the ghost that doesn’t leave
[Bridge]
Count it out
One
Two
Teeth in my tongue
Three
Four
Swear I won’t run (won’t run)
Five
Six
Walls start to hum
Seven
Eight
You’re already gone
[Chorus]
Hide and seek
You disappear
I split in three
You get free
I get still and I can’t breathe
You say "run"
But my legs just sink in deep
You find sun
I find every failed belief
In this game you always leave
I just guard what I can’t keep
Hide and seek
I’m the ghost that doesn’t leave (doesn’t leave)
