[Verse 1]
Blue hair in the hallway
Mask hanging like a question on the door
Static in the TV glow
Dead eyes staring from the floor
Voices in the cottage walls
Rust-red stains that never really dry
Every friend a cracked frame
Every truth another lie
[Chorus]
Sally face
I see you
In the corners of my mind
All the ghosts that cling to you
Walk beside me every time
Sally face
I hear you
Through the buzzing in the wires
If the world calls you a monster
I’ll still stand inside your fire
[Verse 2]
Basement full of photographs
Smiles cut and taped into a shrine
Handprints in the plaster
Saying
“Kid
You’re running out of time”
Neighbors with the plastic grins
Praying while the rot eats through the pews
You keep digging deeper
Till the rot starts digging you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Is it me?
Is it them?
Is it something underneath my skin?
[growled backing]
All the rot
All the sin
Can we ever crawl out again?
[crescendo]
You lift the mask up slow
Blood and teardrops in the light
You’re the only one who knows
What it costs to stay and fight
[Chorus]
