[Intro]
Breath stuck
Heart slow
Curtains crack
Something in the smoke
[Verse 1]
Floorboards creak like teeth in the night
Every shadow in the corner wanna pick me to fight
Feel ’em crawling up my spine like they testing my soul
Whisper names that I buried, now they calling the roll
I been running in the sheets, but the ground don’t move
Every blink, another nightmare trying on my shoes
Got my back to the wall, but the wall feel deep
Like it’s folding, like it’s choking, like it’s dragging me to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands on my ankle
Ice in my chest
If I close my eyes
Will I ever wake up from this
[Chorus]
Demons calling me, I don’t want to go
Claws in the dark, they don’t let go
Shadows gripping me, pulling down slow
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Jaw locked, can’t scream, I just grind my teeth
Every thought like a chain dragging under the reef
See ’em circle ’round the bed with their hunger and grins
And they feed on every fear that I bury within
They be humming in the hum of the vent at night
Turn the ceiling to a pit where they cut the light
I keep begging for the dawn but the sky stay steep
Like it’s stuck in a loop where I never leave sleep
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Cold creeping in, every breath gets thin
All the monsters that I ran from move back in
[build]
If the dark want blood, let it drink my rage
I’ma tear these chains, turn the fear to flames
[Chorus]
Demons calling me, I don’t want to go
Claws in the dark, they don’t let go
Shadows gripping me, pulling down slow
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t want to go
I don’t want to go
[Chorus]
