[Verse 1]
Dust on the chandelier
Echo in the silver hall
You laugh
It bounces back
Like someone else inside these walls
Velvet on the broken chairs
Footprints in a faded rug
You grab my hand
Say "Stay close"
I say "Relax
" but my chest feels stuck
[Pre-Chorus]
Candles flare
Then disappear
Shadows dance along the rail
Every door we open
Feels like walking into a tale
You say "Hear that?"
Floorboards breathe beneath our feet
Old frames on the staircase
All staring at me
[Chorus]
House of a hundred eyes
Every step we take
They’re watching
We run but the halls divide
Twisting back to where we started
House of a hundred eyes
We’re the secret they’ve been guarding
If the walls could come alive
Would they keep us
Keep us
Keep us in the
House of a hundred eyes
[Verse 2]
Gold frames lining every room
Faces we don’t recognize
One smile starts to crack and move
Painted pupils tracking our lives
You say "This is not a joke"
Cold breath in the summer air
Door slams
All the windows lock
There’s a heartbeat on the stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
Every whisper’s saying names
Not ours
But they sound close
Clock hands spinning backwards
Like the night rewrote its ghosts
You pull me closer
We’re a flicker in their scheme
And every portrait
Leans out of the seams
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
Turn
Turn
Turn around (around)
Same long hall
Same hollow sound (so loud)
Run
Run
Running in place
We’re the ones the paintings chase
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Frames tilt
Colors drip
They’re stepping off the canvas edge
Bare feet on the marble cold
We’re backed up to the landing ledge
[whispered vocals]
"We see you
We see you"
Male: "If this is the end
Then hold me"
Female: "If this is a dream
Don’t wake me"
Both: "If we disappear tonight
Remember we were here
Alive"
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
Turn
Turn
Turn around (around)
Same locked doors
That haunted sound (so loud)
Stuck
Stuck under their eyes
Now we’re part of the house of a hundred eyes
