[Intro]
[high
Shaking violin
Soft string drones]
I hear it breathing
In the ceiling
In the floorboards
Underneath me
[Verse 1]
Cold air
On the back of my neck
Shadows
Where the light should be
Walls sigh
Like they're learning to speak
Every step I take
Steps behind me
[Chorus]
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Reaching fingers for my heart
But I can’t see it
Can’t see it
Every corner
Every mark
Turns to eyes that never leave me
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Can’t see anything
[Verse 2]
Name scratched
In the dust on the frame
My name
But I live alone
Floorboard
Lifts and settles again
Like a hand
Pressing through the stone
[Chorus]
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Reaching fingers for my heart
But I can’t see it
Can’t see it
Every corner
Every mark
Turns to eyes that never leave me
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Can’t see anything
[Bridge]
(oh) if I close my eyes
It leans in closer
If I try to run
The room grows colder
Breathing in my ear
But there’s nothing there
Just the sound of my pulse
And the heavy air
[Chorus]
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Feel it
Feel it
Reaching fingers for my heart
But I can’t see it
Can’t see it
Every whisper
Every spark
Feeds the thing that waits beneath me
Something’s lurking in the dark
I can feel it
Can’t see anything
[Outro]
[violin climbs
Then holds on a thin
Trembling note]
I can feel it
But I can’t see
Anything
