Crispy Chips and Cold Beer

Lyrics

Intro
Crispy chips and cold beer
On the table, on the floor
Crispy chips and cold beer
I can hear you in the wall

Verse 1
I woke with my jaw wired shut
Something learned my name
It moved through the vents last night
Left its teeth in the frame
Your shadow's got my keys
Your shadow wears my skin
I count my ribs like machine parts
And the clicking starts again

Pre-Chorus
Say it soft
Say it slow
If you hear me
Don't let go
It wants in
It wants more
Hear that scraping
At the door

Chorus
Crispy chips and cold beer
Feed the thing inside
Crispy chips and cold beer
Let it crawl and hide
Crispy chips and cold beer
I am not alone
Crispy chips and cold beer
Bone to bone to bone

Verse 2
The mirror gave me back
A grin that wasn't mine
Seven little mouths were laughing
In the spaces of my mind
I tried to spit the spell out
It crawled back through my tongue
My hands keep making symbols
That I never learned when young

Pre-Chorus
Say it soft
Say it slow
If you hear me
Don't let go
It wants in
It wants more
Hear that scraping
At the door

Chorus
Crispy chips and cold beer
Feed the thing inside
Crispy chips and cold beer
Let it crawl and hide
Crispy chips and cold beer
I am not alone
Crispy chips and cold beer
Bone to bone to bone

Bridge
Whispered
Put your ear to the sink
Hear the answer breathe
It knows your weak spots
It knows how to read
Roared
Hands in the dark
Teeth in the glass
You built this cage
Now watch it laugh

Verse 3
Now the whole house bends
Like a mouth with bruised lips
Every step I take
Gets swallowed by the floorboards' grip
I don't need salvation
I need the lock to break
If I say your name too loud
The thing inside will wake

Pre-Chorus
Say it soft
Say it slow
If you hear me
Don't let go
It wants in
It wants more
Hear that scraping
At the door

Chorus
Crispy chips and cold beer
Feed the thing inside
Crispy chips and cold beer
Let it crawl and hide
Crispy chips and cold beer
I am not alone
Crispy chips and cold beer
Bone to bone to bone

Outro
Crispy chips and cold beer
On the table, on the floor
Crispy chips and cold beer
I can hear you in the wall
