[Verse 1]
Cold floor
Bare feet on the tile when the clock hits four
Hear a creak in the hall like it’s been here before
Shadow on the wall that I can’t ignore (nah)
I been sipping on fear from a chipped wine glass
Every little sin that I did come back
Name on a list that I never did ask
Still they knock in a row like a ritual chant
[Chorus]
I feel the dread in the hallway
Ghost in my chest when I breathe
Demons at the foot of my bed, they call me
Saying they ain’t never gon’ leave
Twist that faith like necromancy
Raise what I tried to bury deep
Dread in the hallway
Draggin’ all my secrets through the sheets (through the sheets)
[Verse 2]
Momma said pray but the words feel stuck
Static in my throat, taste rust, bad luck
Eyes in the dark, I can feel ‘em watch close
Every little doubt that I had turn smoke
Whispers in a tongue that I don’t quite know
Chill in my bones when the room gets froze
I been tryna run from the past I chose
But the dirt I kicked up grow hands, they hold
[Chorus]
I feel the dread in the hallway
Ghost in my chest when I breathe
Demons at the foot of my bed, they call me
Saying they ain’t never gon’ leave
Twist that faith like necromancy
Raise what I tried to bury deep
Dread in the hallway
Draggin’ all my secrets through the sheets (yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
If I light that flame, will it burn ‘em out?
Or just paint their names on the ceiling now?
Every closed door got an eye that sees
Every quiet night got a price on me (on me)
[Chorus]
I feel the dread in the hallway
Ghost in my chest when I breathe
Demons at the foot of my bed, they call me
Saying they ain’t never gon’ leave
Twist that faith like necromancy
Raise what I tried to bury deep
Dread in the hallway
Guess the darkest thing I fear is me (is me)
