[Intro]
[whispered] Trick or treat
Teeth on teeth
Mask on tight
We don’t leave
[Verse 1 – Male]
Jack-o’-lantern jaw, crooked grin, I’m back
Candy in the sack, couple bodies in the back
Doorbell ding, little kids get shook
I don’t need a blade, girl, I kill with a look
Pump fake smile, pull the rug from the meek
Orange on my hoodie, blood rust on my sneaks
House on the hill where the porch lights bleed
Carve my name in the dark, let the neighbors read
[Chorus – Both]
This is Halloween, welcome to the feast (hey!)
Knock on my door, you ain’t leaving these streets
Fangs in the sugar, razors in the sweets
Pray for the dawn
But you’re running with the beasts
This is Halloween, masks and bad dreams
Baby, don’t scream, that’s the gasoline
Light that match, watch the sky turn mean
All tricks, no treats
This is Halloween
[Verse 2 – Female]
Black lace gloves, little doll, big threat
Cherry red drip on the floor, still wet
Lipstick smear like a cursed cassette
Once I press play, you ain’t waking up yet
Click-clack heels on the cracked-up stone
Every ring cam catching me posed on the throne
Pumpkin on fire in the cul-de-sac glow
I kiss your cheek, leave my mark in your soul (mwah)
[Chorus – Both]
This is Halloween, welcome to the feast
Knock on my door, you ain’t leaving these streets (nah)
Fangs in the sugar, razors in the sweets
Pray for the dawn
But you’re running with the beasts
This is Halloween, masks and bad dreams (bad dreams)
Baby, don’t scream, that’s the gasoline
Light that match, watch the sky turn mean
All tricks, no treats
This is Halloween
[Bridge – Call & Response]
[Male] You hear steps on the crooked wood stair?
[Female] That’s me in your room, braiding up your hair
[Male] You taste rust when the porch light hums?
[Female] That’s my kiss on your terrified tongue
[Both] One more house
One more soul
Bag so heavy
Can’t carry it home (oh!)
[Chorus – Both]
This is Halloween, welcome to the feast
Knock on my door, you ain’t leaving these streets
Fangs in the sugar, razors in the sweets
Pray for the dawn
But you’re running with the beasts
This is Halloween, masks and bad dreams
Baby, don’t scream, that’s the gasoline (yeah)
Light that match, watch the sky turn mean
All tricks, no treats
This is Halloween
