Fright Night

Lyrics

Intro
Footsteps in the vent
I hear them breathe
TV glow on the wall
But it ain’t for me
My name on the glass
Written in steam
I blink once, twice
Now it’s missing a beam

Verse 1
Black bag on the chair
Like it came with the room
Old floorboards talking
In a language of doom
Phone face down, dead
Still it lights up red
One missed call from
A number I bled
I count every crack
In the back of my brain
Every little doubt
Leaves a bruise in my name
Got a cold grin lurking
In the gap by the frame
And it says my secrets
Like it knows where I came from

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the lock
But the lock won’t turn
Walls lean close
Let the whole place burn
If I run now
It’ll still be there
In my own two eyes
In the mirror stare

Chorus
Fright night
Hold tight
It knows my name
Fright night
Cold light
Inside my veins
Don’t breathe
Don’t blink
It’s at the door
Fright night
Fright night
I want no more

Breakdown
Shh
Hear that?
That’s my pulse
That’s my pulse
That’s my pulse
Every shadow got a grin
Every grin got a knife

Verse 2
I seen a shape in the bath
When the water went still
Could’ve been my own face
But it moved at will
Now the hallway bends
Like a crooked thought
Every step I take
Gets me closer to what
Got a split-screen vision
Of a room inside me
One half says stay
One half says “don’t leave”
Scratched on the mirror
“YOU WERE HERE FIRST”
Then the lights all stutter
And the silence gets worse

Pre-Chorus
Hands on the lock
But the lock won’t turn
Walls lean close
Let the whole place burn
If I run now
It’ll still be there
In my own two eyes
In the mirror stare

Chorus
Fright night
Hold tight
It knows my name
Fright night
Cold light
Inside my veins
Don’t breathe
Don’t blink
It’s at the door
Fright night
Fright night
I want no more

Verse 3
Now the room won’t fit
All the fear I brought
Every little lie
Got a body count
There’s a voice in the drain
Saying “stay with me”
Then it laughs real low
Like it’s mocking me
I remember the night
I let it step in
Fed it all my doubt
Let the static begin
Now it wears my face
When the window goes black
And it walks like me
With my whole life cracked

Breakdown
Too close
Too close
Too close
It’s in the wall
In my head
In the fold of the dark

Bridge
If I say my name
Will it split in two?
If I shut my eyes
Will it see right through?
I been chasing ghosts
In a borrowed skin
Now the fear I made
Is the thing I’m in

Chorus
Fright night
Hold tight
It knows my name
Fright night
Cold light
Inside my veins
Don’t breathe
Don’t blink
It’s at the door
Fright night
Fright night
I want no more

Outro
Footsteps fade
Then return again
TV snow
Like a closing grin
My name on the glass
Written in steam
I blink once, twice
And it’s me
