Little Nightmares

Lyrics

Intro
Yeah
Uh
Run it
Little nightmares, baby
No sleep

Chorus
Little Nightmares
Say it again
Little Nightmares
We don’t pretend
Little Nightmares
Walls got teeth
Little Nightmares
Come down with me

Verse 1
I woke in a room full of broken damn toys
TVs in the dark and they hunt for the noise
Paper-bag kid with the weight on my back
Tiny little steps, but the whole world black
Mono in the static, I’m cut from the wire
Every little hallway getting colder and dire
That tall-ass shadow got a face like sin
I keep on moving, I don’t let it in
Clock hands twitch when the corridor bends
Hear that low hum when the nightmare descends
Fuck your safety, I’m running this maze
One wrong move and you’re gone for days

Pre-Chorus
Hold your breath
Don’t make a sound
Something’s near
In this town
Kids got lost
Names got stole
Breathe too hard
It takes your soul

Chorus
Little Nightmares
Say it again
Little Nightmares
We don’t pretend
Little Nightmares
Walls got teeth
Little Nightmares
Come down with me

Verse 2
Six in the raincoat with a hunger in her stare
Little yellow ghost and a blade in the air
She don’t trust nobody, she don’t pray for grace
She’ll crawl through the filth just to find her place
Maw full of monsters in the kitchen steam
Fat hands reaching from a bad fuckin’ dream
I seen that Lady in the mirror frame
Pretty on the outside, rotten to the name
She smiles like poison, then she locks the door
Makes dolls out of fear and asks for more
I know what she wants, I know what she eats
Power in her fingertips, blood on the sheets

Pre-Chorus
Hush now
The floorboards creak
One more step
And they freak
Run fast
Keep low
If you hear them
Don’t look back, go

Chorus
Little Nightmares
Say it again
Little Nightmares
We don’t pretend
Little Nightmares
Walls got teeth
Little Nightmares
Come down with me

Verse 3
Pale City rising with the towers all bent
Thin Man in the distance, he’s death with intent
Long coat dragging like a rumor of doom
You can’t outrun that fucking tune
Mono on the chair, then the screens start to bleed
Time turns ugly when the static’s freed
Every fucked-up hallway is a loop and a lie
You grow up too fast when the sky wants to die
Janitor in the vents with his arms too long
Schoolyard shadows where the kids went wrong
The Hunter in the woods with the taxidermy grin
Every little chapter lets the terror crawl in

Bridge
We were kids in a cage with a key made of dread
Tiny hearts pounding while the big things fed
If the world wants to crush us, we bite back hard
One step, one scream, one broken guard

Final Chorus
Little Nightmares
Say it again
Little Nightmares
We don’t pretend
Little Nightmares
Walls got teeth
Little Nightmares
Come down with me
Little Nightmares
No safe ground
Little Nightmares
We burn it down
Little Nightmares
Say my name
Little Nightmares
We don’t break
