[Verse 1]
Footprints in the dust
They’re glowing
Hidden hinge behind the frame
You said
“This door feels different”
I said your full name
Cobweb curtain
Heartbeats tripping
Old key burns in my hand
You laugh
“We’re really leaving?”
Floorboards don’t understand
[Chorus]
We found a way out of the haunted halls
Now the walls wake up and they start to crawl
Run
Run
Run
But the house runs faster
Laughter in the dark turns into disaster
We found a way out
Now it pulls us in
Every locked door wants to taste our fear
Hands on the handle
Eyes on the fear
We found a way out of the haunted halls
[Verse 2]
[tenor male] Portrait eyes all start to swivel
Bassline rattling the glass
[alto female] “Did you touch my shoulder?”
Cold breath in the stairwell laughs
[soprano female] Hear that name? It’s mine
But twisted
Echoed from the attic beams
[bass male
Low vocal register] Footsteps marching out of nowhere
Chasing down our little scheme
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Count to three
Lights go out
You and me
And something else now
[call-and-response]
Tenor: “Stay close”
Alto: “Too late”
Bass: “Don’t breathe”
Soprano: “It’s awake”
[crescendo]
Doors slam
Floor shakes
Ceiling bends
Heartbeat drum till the hallway ends
If this is the exit
Why’s it locked?
Why’s it laugh every time we knock?
[Chorus]
