[Verse 1]
He lives on the top floor
Glass walls
Gold teeth
Thin air
Silver keys on the counter
But the door in his mind stays barred
Marble in the bathroom
Cold veins
Cold stare
He can buy any body
But he can't buy back his heart
[Chorus]
He’s got a penthouse in his head
Every room there painted red
All this space
And he still can’t breathe
Sleeping with the ghosts in satin sheets
He’s got cars
He’s got coastlines
Still he’s circling the same lie
You can dress the wound in diamond light
But you can’t kill the dark inside (inside)
[Verse 2]
Champagne in the daytime
Laugh tracks
Dead eyes
Fake friends
Every laugh like a gunshot
In a room he can’t escape
Mirror on the ceiling
Shows a stranger in his skin
He keeps swallowing the silence
Till it spills out as rage
[Chorus]
He’s got a penthouse in his head
Every room there painted red
All this space
And he still can’t breathe
Sleeping with the ghosts in satin sheets
He’s got boats
He’s got bright skies
Still he’s drowning in his own mind
You can drown the truth in city lights
But you can’t kill the dark inside (dark inside)
[Bridge]
[Drums drop
Bass and vocal alone]
He turns the music higher
Just to hear something break
Talks to the cracks in the drywall
Asking what more can it take
He keeps a pill on his tongue
Like a secret he won’t spit out
If he screams into the mattress
Will the demons finally move out?
[Chorus]
He’s got a penthouse in his head
Every room there painted red
All this space
And he still can’t breathe
Sleeping with the ghosts in satin sheets (so sweet)
He’s got cars
He’s got coastlines
Still he’s circling the same lie
You can flood the night in blinding light
But you can’t kill the dark inside
[Outro]
[Band hits half-time
Vocals raw]
Top floor
Thin air
He’s alone with his nightmare
Top floor
Closed eyes
Can’t outdrive the dark inside (inside)
