Hush Now

Lyrics

Intro
Hush now
Count the teeth in the wall
Hush now
Hear the lock on the crawl

Verse 1
My shadow came back wrong
Wearing my face like glass
Your name on a broken screen
Keeps flashing through the ash
The room learned how to breathe
With a cold, patient stare
I fed it my softer parts
And it built a throne from there

Chant
Hush now
Hush now
Keep the lid on the scream
Hush now
Hush now
Let it rot in the seam

Verse 2
There’s a seam in the ceiling
It’s opening slow
Little hands in the static
Pulling on what I know
I hear gears in the drywall
I hear glass in my blood
Every prayer I swallowed
Turns to iron and mud

Breakdown
Speak when you’re told
Break when you’re told
Kneel to the pulse
Knock at the mold
Hush now
Hush now
Hush now
(come closer)
Hush now
Hush now
Hush now

Verse 3
I wore the dark like a medal
It bit through the chain
Made a nest in the back room
Fed on my shame
Now the mirror is a mouthpiece
Now the floor is a jaw
If I drag you inside here
You will learn what I saw

Chant
Hush now
Hush now
Keep the lid on the scream
Hush now
Hush now
Let it rot in the seam

Outro
Hush now
The machines are praying
Hush now
Your bones are swaying
Hush now
I’m still here
Hush now
I’m still
Hush now
