[Verse 1]
I saw your shadow in the hall
White mask grinning through it all
Footsteps cut the linoleum
Like a blade on my tongue
You said my name through broken glass
Now the whole dark house just caved in fast
Sydney, keep your hands on the door
He’s been waiting at the frame for more
[Pre-Chorus]
Run when the floorboards sing
Run when the old bell rings
He’s got a hollow stare
And a grin that lives in the air
[Chorus]
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Sydney, run, run, run
Before the night comes undone
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Hear that cold name call
Then the whole world falls
[Verse 2]
I hear the static in his laugh
Every mirror shows the aftermath
Red tape on the bathroom tile
And a slow, cruel smile
Sydney, don’t look back again
He moves like smoke through the sink and vent
I slammed the chain, I killed the light
But his shadow learned to bite
[Pre-Chorus]
Run when the floorboards sing
Run when the old bell rings
He’s got a hollow stare
And a grin that lives in the air
[Chorus]
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Sydney, run, run, run
Before the night comes undone
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Hear that cold name call
Then the whole world falls
[Bridge]
If I break, let me break awake
If I fall, let the walls all shake
No more hiding in the dark
No more secrets in the sparks
Digitized voice in my head
Says the fear was never dead
Sydney, take the road outside
Don’t let him turn your pulse to ice
[Final Chorus]
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Sydney, run, run, run
Before the night comes undone
Ghost face at the gate
Ghost face, don’t wait
Hear that cold name call
Then the whole world falls
