Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up pinned to the sheets
Tongue full of rust
Can’t move my hands
Can’t even blink for dust
Shadow men in the corner
Tall as the frame
They lean like they know me
They know my name
Hat Man by the dresser
Black brim, black coat
He don’t walk in
He just gets close
[Pre-Chorus]
My chest goes thin
My lungs go small
I hear my own fear
Crawl down the wall
The room bends back
The floor turns slow
And I know that face
I know that stare
[Chorus]
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
Don’t look away, don’t look away
He’s in my head
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
I try to scream
But the dark says, “stay”
[Verse 2]
Fuseli painted it right
That hand on the night
That woman on the mattress
Caught in the light
Like a horse on my ribs
Like a weight on my chest
Like a prayer in my throat
That forgot the rest
Old names from far water
Old names from far snow
Kanashibari on my body
Mare in the glow
In Brazil they call it
A thing that sits down
In the dead of the house
When the pulse turns loud
[Pre-Chorus]
My bones go cold
My blood goes thin
Something smiles first
Then steps in
I see that brim
I feel that stare
And every dead folk tale
Is standing there
[Chorus]
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
Don’t look away, don’t look away
He’s in my head
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
I try to scream
But the dark says, “stay”
[Bridge]
Norse hag on my throat
Old wives in the dust
Incubus in the rafters
Turning fear to rust
Mothmen on the ceiling
Pale teeth, no sound
All the sleep in my body
Held underground
[Final Chorus]
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
Don’t look away, don’t look away
He’s in my head
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
I break for a breath
And he pulls me back again
Hat Man at the bed
Hat Man at the bed
If I ever sleep
Let me wake up clean

Style
Witch house horrorcore with dragged half-time drums, detuned sub swells, glassy bell stabs, and a haunted tape wobble; verses creep in low and close-mic, pre-chorus strips to a pulse and breathing room, chorus opens with stacked doubles and gang hooks. Reverse chimes, stretched vocal smears, and distant door knocks bridge each section; mix is cold, cavernous, and bruised, witch house, sleep, horrorcore, emotional
