[Verse 1]
I hear them scrape the doorframe
Even when the room is bare
Boot marks in the hallway dust
Cold breath hanging in the air
I turn the lock three times
Still they learn my name
They lean through every mirror
And they wear my face
[Pre-Chorus]
They crawl in closer
Under my skin
I slam the window
They come back in
[whispered]
Don’t look behind you
Don’t say you’re fine
[Chorus]
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
No matter where I go
They already on me
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
Clawing at my throat
Won’t let me be
[Verse 2]
Black boots on the stairs now
But I’m the only one home
Dead phone on the table
Still it rings in my bones
I spit your old curse back
Let it break on the floor
You can rattle my windows
I won’t open the door
[Pre-Chorus]
They crawl in closer
Under my skin
I slam the window
They come back in
[whispered]
Don’t look behind you
Don’t say you’re fine
[Chorus]
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
No matter where I go
They already on me
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
Clawing at my throat
Won’t let me be
[Bridge]
[M] I bled your shadow out
[F] It learned to sing
[M] I burned my old name down
[F] It wears my ring
[chant]
Back up, back up
Get off my trail
Back up, back up
I will not fail
[Final Chorus]
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
No matter where I go
They already on me
Stop following me ghosts
Still follow me
I bite through the dark
And I set me free
