Mimic in the Vault
by ryedies
Lyrics
Verse 1
I came alone, mask on, let me in
Old metal hall, and it’s smelling like sin
Footsteps bounce where the dead maps end
One wrong door and the floor caves in
I got a lockpick, nerve, and a cracked-up light
Every shadow here wanna eat me alive
Hear that scrape in the vent like a throat gone dry
Something’s in the walls and it knows my name tonight
I don’t pray, I don’t flinch, I don’t freeze for shit
I just keep on moving through this dead-end pit
If it talks in my voice, I know what that means
There’s a fucker in here built from stolen dreams
Pre-Chorus
Cut that noise
Hear the change in the air
Cut that noise
Something’s learning my stare
Cut that noise
It can wear my skin
Cut that noise
But it bleeds from within
Chorus
Mimic, mimic, come get me
Mimic, mimic, don’t step slow
Mimic, mimic, say my name back
Wrong voice, same face, let’s go
Mimic, mimic, come get me
Mimic, mimic, full of rage
Mimic, mimic, lock this room now
We both die on the same damn stage
Verse 2
Mimic
I hear you breathe, I hear you think
I wear your fear like a diamond ring
I take your laugh, I take your snap
I bite your words and I spit them back
You turn left, I turn left too
You run fast, I run faster through
Metal bones with a borrowed grin
I was made to fit right under your skin
Say it once, say it twice, I copy clean
Your broken little heart and your shitty machine
I can be the child, I can be the ghost
I can be the friend you hate the most
Every scream that you threw at the dark
I saved that sound in my fucking parts
Now I step in time with your shaking chest
Learn my face, man, I’m the best of the best
Bridge
Protagonist
Nah, you don’t get me
You just repeat
You’re a damn mirror
With killer teeth
Mimic
Same mouth
Same fear
Same end
Right here
Chorus
Mimic, mimic, come get me
Mimic, mimic, don’t step slow
Mimic, mimic, say my name back
Wrong voice, same face, let’s go
Mimic, mimic, come get me
Mimic, mimic, full of rage
Mimic, mimic, lock this room now
We both die on the same damn stage
Outro
Protagonist
I hear the latch
I hear the grin
I see my voice
Coming back again
Mimic
I learn you fast
I learn you mean
I wear your hell
Like it’s a fucking dream
