Lyrics
[Intro]
[Sound design: slow breathing, floorboards creaking, distant guttural groans]
The lock turns once, the hallway holds its breath
A kitchen chair is braced against the door
Something drags its nails along the steps
Then three more bodies hit the floor
[Verse 1]
The window’s taped with yesterday’s news
The flashlight blinks a sickly white
Your brother’s coat is hanging by the stairs
But he left this house before tonight
A wet hand smears the glass outside
Teeth click softly through the screen
You mouth my name, I cover your lips
Don’t let them know where we have been
[Pre-Chorus]
They’re at the back door
They’re in the walls
The ceiling dust begins to fall
Count every heartbeat
Hold very still
If they hear us, they will climb the hill
[Chorus]
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t breathe
They’re turning every handle beneath
The boards are bending, the dead are awake
One more hard hit and the whole house breaks
Run to the attic, crawl through the dark
I hear them chewing beneath the floorboards
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t scream—
[Scream: “NO!”]
They know exactly where we are!
[Verse 2]
The phone keeps ringing in the hall
A voice repeats the same old prayer
I reach for it, you shake your head
There’s someone standing in the chair
The basement door begins to bow
Black fingers curl beneath the frame
A childlike laugh comes from the vents
Then something whispers out your name
[Pre-Chorus]
They’re at the back door
They’re in the walls
The picture frames begin to fall
Count every heartbeat
Hold very still
If they hear us, they will climb the hill
[Chorus]
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t breathe
They’re turning every handle beneath
The boards are bending, the dead are awake
One more hard hit and the whole house breaks
Run to the attic, crawl through the dark
I hear them chewing beneath the floorboards
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t scream—
[Scream: “HELP ME!”]
They know exactly where we are!
[Bridge]
[Sound design: pounding accelerates, snarling groans surround the room]
The front door cracks
The hallway floods
A dozen mouths are full of blood
The chimney shakes
The plaster rains
They push their faces through the panes
You grab my hand
I lose my grip
Your fingers slide, your knuckles slip
[Screams: layered terrified screams]
No—no—no—no!
[Breakdown]
[Whispered]
Don’t look behind you
Don’t make a sound
There’s nowhere left to hide now
They’re all around
[Final Chorus]
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t breathe
They’re pulling splinters from underneath
The roof is shaking, the dead pour in
Your final prayer can’t stop their grin
Run to the attic, crawl through the dark
The stairs are crowded, the whole house is lost
Stay down, stay quiet, don’t scream—
[Scream: “GET AWAY!”]
They know exactly where we are!
[Outro]
[Sound design: one last violent impact, frantic breathing, a door slowly creaking open]
The morning finds the house still standing
But no one answers from inside
A single handprint marks the ceiling
And something laughs beneath the floor
[Zombie groan fading into silence]
