Obscene Dreams

Lyrics

Intro
Sick little halo
Bent in my hands
Oil on your tongue
You understand
(Obscene dreams)

Verse 1
I hear you under the floor
Scratching the seam
Paper skin, iron ribs
Living the dream
Your mouth made a key
For the lock in my chest
Now every good prayer
Comes out like a mess

Pre-Chorus
Step in the dark
Count to ten
Hold that shape
And fold again
Closer now
Don’t look away
The thing you fed
Wants you to stay

Chorus
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Come crawl in me
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Make me believe
(Obscene dreams)
(Obscene dreams)

Breakdown
Kneel
Bite
Repeat
Break
Bend
Rust
Obey
(Too late)
(Too late)

Verse 2
I wore your fear like a badge
Pinned to my skin
Every closed door
Let the wrong thing in
Clock hands twitch
Like a trapped little vein
I fed the machine
And it learned my name

Pre-Chorus
Step in the dark
Count to ten
Hold that shape
And fold again
Closer now
Don’t look away
The thing you fed
Wants you to stay

Chorus
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Come crawl in me
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Make me believe
(Obscene dreams)
(Obscene dreams)

Bridge
No face
No God
Just teeth in a glow
A room full of shadows
And nowhere to go
I split in two
At the seam of the scream
One half of me snarls
One half wants the dream

Breakdown
Tear it
Name it
Drag it down
Hollow sound
Metal mouth
Spit the crown
(Obscene)
(Obscene)

Verse 3
Now the walls breathe slow
Like a living hive
Black wires twitch
And they feel alive
I stare at my hands
They don’t feel like mine
Something inside me
Is learning to climb

Pre-Chorus
Step in the dark
Count to ten
Hold that shape
And fold again
Closer now
Don’t look away
The thing you fed
Wants you to stay

Final Chorus
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Come crawl in me
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
Make me believe
Obscene dreams
Obscene dreams
I’m not clean
(Obscene dreams)
(Obscene dreams)

Outro
Sick little halo
Bent in my hands
Oil on my tongue
I understand
(Obscene dreams)
(Obscene dreams)
