[Intro]
Teeth on the ceiling
Claws in the floor
Breath on my neck
There’s more, there’s more
[Verse 1]
Eyes in the mirror
Don’t blink, they stare back
Fangs in my heartbeat
Chewing through the black
Footsteps in my rib cage
Pacing, scraping bone
Every shadow in my bedroom
Says I’m not alone
[Chorus]
Monsters in the walls
Monsters in my head
They’re praying that I fall
They’re howling to be fed
I’m hanging by a thread, yeah
Screaming to the sky
If there’s anything left of me
Tell me, why am I alive?
[Verse 2]
Hands on my shoulders
But I can’t see a face
Cold breath, hot panic
They love the taste
Faith on empty
Like a well run dry
I call your name in the dark
Only echoes reply
[Chorus]
[Rap Break]
I got a coffin in my conscience
Lock it, but they pop it, they got options
Every thought a toxin
All my past sins boxed in
Talkin’ like:
“Let go, give in, you’re done”
Circle like a vulture round the sun
Every doubt that I buried in the basement
Claws through the pavement, one by one
I’m a dead man walking with a nervous grin
Fear in my lungs, can’t pull it in
If there’s a god in the static of the night
Why he never step in when they start that grin?
I’ve been
Knockin’ on the door of nothing
Knuckles bleed, but the wood ain’t budging
If hope’s out there, better show up quick
‘Cause these teeth in my head keep cutting
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
[female vocals, clear and strong]
Hey
I see you shaking in the dark
But I’m still here
I’m still here, don’t close your heart
You are not your nightmares
You are not their roar
Take my hand, breathe with me
We’ve walked this floor before
[Bridge]
[female + male vocals]
Step
By step
We stomp what stalks us
Name them
Face them
They’re dust, they’re just dust
(You’re not alone, not alone)
I won’t let you slip
(When your faith lets go)
I’ll hold that grip
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[female lead, male backing shouts]
Monsters in the walls
Monsters in your mind
But I’m right here beside you
We leave them all behind
(Behind, behind, behind)
You’re hanging by a thread
I’ll tie it to my chest
Together through the screaming
We drag you back to rest
