[Intro]
Soft steps in the hall
Breath fog on the glass
Choir in my skull
Singing of the past
Cold hands on my chest
Names carved in the stone
Every quiet regret
Marching me home
[Verse 1]
You said it’s all in my head
But my shadows keep receipts
Every promise that I bled
Piled up under my feet
Candles flicker in my lungs
I taste ashes when I speak
I’ve been smiling for the crowds
Rotting out for a week (or three)
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear them circle when I’m still
Silhouettes along the wall
Every secret that I killed
Wakes up when I start to fall
[Chorus]
Death in the corner
Grinning in the dark (hey)
Dancing with my demons
Tearing me apart
I keep saying “later”
It just pulls me in
Every step I take
I’m shedding skin
Death in the corner
Humming in my ear
Telling me the ending’s already here
I keep reaching higher
They drag me below
Spin me through the black till I let go
[Verse 2]
I wear halos made of wire
Cut my fingers just to feel
Feed the hunger
Feed the fire
Watch the mercy start to peel
There’s a mirror in the floor
Shows the worst of what I am
If I disappear tonight
Would they even give a damn?
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear them circle when I’m still
Silhouettes along the wall
Every secret that I killed
Wakes up when I start to fall
[Chorus]
Death in the corner
Grinning in the dark
Dancing with my demons
Tearing me apart
I keep saying “later”
It just pulls me in
Every step I take
I’m shedding skin
Death in the corner
Humming in my ear (yeah)
Telling me the ending’s already here
I keep reaching higher
They drag me below
Spin me through the black till I let go
[Bridge]
If I give in
Do I get peace?
Or just the quiet
Of a missing piece?
If I stay here
Face every fear
Do the voices fade
Or get loud and clear? (oh)
[Chorus]
Death in the corner
Grinning in the dark
Dancing with my demons
Tearing me apart
I keep saying “later”
It just pulls me in
Every step I take
I’m shedding skin
Death in the corner
Humming in my ear
Telling me the ending’s already here
I keep reaching higher
They drag me below
Spin me through the black till I let go
