Hallows Eve

Lyrics

Intro
Knock on the bone
Knock on the door
I hear the chain
Drag on the floor

Verse 1
I sleep with one eye open
The room starts breathing slow
The walls keep moving closer
Like they already know
A black shape in the hallway
A grin behind the glass
My name is in the static
But it sounds like broken brass

Pre-Chorus
Hold your breath
Count to six
Something's coming
Down the bricks
Don't look back
Don't call me in
It wants a face
It wants the skin

Chorus
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Let it in
Let it bleed
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Break the seal
Set it free
Hallows Eve
Hallows Eve

Breakdown
Kneel
Then crawl
Cold hand
On the wall
Click-clack
Metal jaw
Take your fear
Give it all

Verse 2
I see the shadows learning
How to wear a human shape
They tap the glass in rhythm
Like a code I can't escape
The porch light flickers red now
The dogs won't make a sound
Something in the basement
Is turning upside down

Pre-Chorus
Hold your breath
Count to six
Something's coming
Down the bricks
Don't look back
Don't call me in
It wants a face
It wants the skin

Chorus
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Let it in
Let it bleed
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Break the seal
Set it free
Hallows Eve
Hallows Eve

Bridge
I hear it speak in circuits
A voice like broken chains
It knows my oldest weakness
It knows my father's name
It wears my teeth like armor
It wears my voice like smoke
Now the thing inside the mirror
Is laughing as I choke

Breakdown
One more hit
One more scream
Split the night
At the seam
No escape
No defeat
Hands in the dirt
Knees in the bleach

Verse 3
Now the floorboards are humming
Like a throat beneath the house
Every prayer I ever swallowed
Crawls back out of my mouth
I ran through every doorway
But they all led back here
To the feast in the shadows
To the engine of my fear

Chorus
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Let it in
Let it bleed
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Break the seal
Set it free
Hallows Eve
Hallows Eve

Outro
Knock on the bone
Knock on the door
I am the thing
You were waiting for
Hallows Eve
(hallew eve)
Hallows Eve
(Hallows Eve)
