[Introl]
You thought I’d leave when I died.
But the dead don’t forget.
And the cursed don’t forgive.
You don’t sleep alone anymore.
You sleep with me.
[Hook]
Now you sleep with me
Even when he’s there
I’m the shadow in your sheets
I’m the fingers in your hair
I’m the cold breath on your spine
I’m the creak on the stair
You can lie to the world
But I know you’re scared
Now you sleep with me…
Forever. I swear.
[Verse 1]
I’m the voice in your head when the lights cut out
I’m the whisper in your throat when you try to shout
I’m the silence that screams in the middle of sex
I’m the guilt you swallow that clogs your chest
He don’t know — but I do
Every smile you fake, every “I miss you”
I see through your skin like glass
I live in your bones, I haunt your past
You gave me death — now I give you presence
Your punishment ain’t hell — it’s my essence
He’ll never love you clean — not with me in the room
I’ll wrap his throat in your perfume
I’ll make him dream of caskets and blood
I’ll make his heart dry up when you call it love
You thought I was gone — nah, I evolved
From broken boy… into your goddamn curse
[Hook]
Now you sleep with me
Even when he’s there
I’m the shadow in your sheets
I’m the fingers in your hair
I’m the cold breath on your spine
I’m the creak on the stair
You can lie to the world
But I know you’re scared
Now you sleep with me…
Forever. I swear.
[Verse 2]
He tries to touch you — but your skin feels cursed
He sees your smile — but it tastes like dirt
You wear makeup to hide what you feel
But I know what’s fake and I know what’s real
You can pray, light sage, burn your bed
You can scream at the night — but I’m in your head
I’m the part of you that won’t ever heal
I’m the mirror you break when it shows what’s real
I hope he asks why your hands shake
Why you flinch when he says my name
Why you cry in your sleep, mouth wide with fear
Why your eyes stay wet when I’m nowhere near
But I am
I always will be
Your soul’s tattoo
Your scar on repeat
You built a ghost when you tore me down
Now I walk through your dreams wearing your crown
[Bridge]
You loved the chaos
Now you live in it
You loved the pain
Now you give it
You loved my death
Now you relive it
[Final Hook]
Now you sleep with me
Even when he’s there
I’m the shadow in your sheets
I’m the fingers in your hair
I’m the cold breath on your spine
I’m the creak on the stair
You can lie to the world
But I know you’re scared
Now you sleep with me…
Forever. I swear.
[Outro]
You ain’t in love…
You’re in purgatory.
And I’m the reason.
