Sociopathic Tendencies

Lyrics

Intro
Cold breath in the hallway
Footsteps talk back to me
Static on the doorframe
Something watching, maybe me

Verse 1
I been hearing my name in the vents
Real low, like a debt
Got a grin on my face
But my hands stay tense
Moonlight on the cracks in the glass
They all move when I pass
I keep count of the exits
Then I walk right past

Pocket full of matches
No fire, just fear
I don't trust the silence
When it gets too near
Mirror in the kitchen
Looked away first
I saw my own shadow
Trying to curse

Pre-Chorus
Tell me who you are
When the room goes black
Tell me what you want
When you don't look back
Heart on alert
Every beat, attack
I don't sleep, I just drift
And I never come back

Chorus
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
Say my name in the dark
Then run, then run
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
I keep smiling too long
Till the light goes numb

Verse 2
I don't need a reason
I just need a sign
Every little glitch in the wall
Feels like mine
There's a voice in the carpet
There's a pulse in the fan
And it says, "don't relax"
So I don't, I can

Worn-out shoes by the mattress
Door chain tight
I been sleeping in pieces
Ever since that night
Somebody left a cold hand
On the back of my neck
Now I read every shadow
Like a threat, like a test

Pre-Chorus
Tell me who you are
When the room goes black
Tell me what you want
When you don't look back
Heart on alert
Every beat, attack
I don't sleep, I just drift
And I never come back

Chorus
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
Say my name in the dark
Then run, then run
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
I keep smiling too long
Till the light goes numb

Bridge
([whispered]) I know, I know
You can feel it too
Every little lie
Leaves a bruise
([shouted]) Don't touch that door
Don't breathe too loud
Something in me broke
And it wants out now

Breakdown
Tick, tick, gone
Whole room gone wrong
Blink and the frame
Cuts your face off
Low hum, freeze
No peace, no sleep
If I look too hard
It looks back deep

Verse 3
Now the night got teeth
And it knows my step
I been feeding the edge
With the words I kept
If I lose my cool
Then the whole house shakes
If I say too much
Then the walls might break

So I laugh at the ceiling
Like it's in on it too
Tell the dark come closer
I got nothing to lose
But the laugh comes thin
And it bends halfway
Like a blade in a prayer
Like a split-screen day

Pre-Chorus
Tell me who you are
When the room goes black
Tell me what you want
When you don't look back
Heart on alert
Every beat, attack
I don't sleep, I just drift
And I never come back

Chorus
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
Say my name in the dark
Then run, then run
Sociopathic tendencies
Sociopathic tendencies
I keep smiling too long
Till the light goes numb

Outro
Cold breath in the hallway
Footsteps fade from me
Static on the doorframe
Still watching, maybe me
