Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up pinned in black
My chest won't answer back
The room is bent and small
That shape is on the wall
Long fingers by my bed
A scrape inside my head
He leans in like he knows
My fear before it grows
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't scream, can't move
Can't tell what's true
The dark gets teeth
When it looks at you
[Chorus]
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
He takes my breath
And holds it still
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
I'm wide awake
And buried still
[Verse 2]
Like Fuseli's painted dread
A weight on face and chest
The mare sits on my ribs
And feeds on every breath
In Japan they call it kanashibari
In Mexico, the shadow by the bed
Norway's old tales say mara rides in
And I know that stare inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't run, can't wake
The floor won't shake
That brim cuts through
The dream I make
[Chorus]
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
He takes my breath
And holds it still
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
I'm wide awake
And buried still
[Bridge]
I see the others now
Tall shapes along the hall
No mouths, just hunger
Pressing through the wall
My name gets swallowed
By the dark's cold hand
I pray my body
Will remember how to stand
[Final Chorus]
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
He takes my breath
And holds it still
The Hat stands still
The Hat stands still
I feel him grin
Behind my skull, still
