Fear Me

Lyrics

Intro
Blink in the dark
Hear the latch bite shut
Walls keep score
I know what you’ve done

Verse 1
You came in clean
With your sweet little grin
Left a wet print
On the floor of my skin
I sleep with the hum
Of a rusted box fan
Counting your steps
Like a dead clock can
Your breath on the glass
Your shadow in the drain
I made a small room
For your name in pain

Pre-Chorus
Closer
Don’t run
I can taste your fear
Closer
Bone dry
You were born right here

Chorus
Fear me
Fear me now
Fear me
Kneel down
Fear me
Hear that sound
Fear me
I own this house (fear me)

Verse 2
The hinges learned
How to scream your line
Your fingerprints burn
In the dust on time
I fed the wires
With a blackened prayer
Now every door
Is a mouth that stares
You left me a skin
Made of cracked-up glass
I wear your lies
Like a razor mask
When the lights all twitch
And the vents start to moan
That’s me in the walls
Dragging you home

Pre-Chorus
Closer
Don’t hide
I’m under your skin
Closer
No sun
Let the trembling begin

Chorus
Fear me
Fear me now
Fear me
Kneel down
Fear me
Hear that sound
Fear me
I own this house (fear me)

Bridge
No name
No face
Just teeth in the dark
Cold hands
Slow pulse
A mark on a mark
You built your own cage
With a mouth full of lies
Now swallow that key
And look in my eyes

Breakdown
Fear me
Fear me
Fear me
Break
Down
Fear me
Fear me
Fear me
Stay
Down

Verse 3
I don’t need a knife
When the room turns red
I just let your thoughts
Do the work in your head
Every little shame
Every little sin
Crawls out laughing
When I let it in
You can call for help
Till your throat goes raw
But the thing in the hall
Has already won the war
I was there at the edge
Of your first bad dream
Now I’m here, wide awake
In your machine

Chorus
Fear me
Fear me now
Fear me
Kneel down
Fear me
Hear that sound
Fear me
I own this house (fear me)

Outro
Blink in the dark
Hear the latch bite shut
Walls keep score
I know what you’ve done
Fear me
Fear me
Fear me
