Under The Door

Lyrics

Intro
I hear you move
Through the wall
Little feet
On the other side

The floorboards know
My name too well
Every breath
Comes back to me

Verse 1
The lock keeps turning
Even when I’m still
A shape in the hallway
With a borrowed will

I counted the knocks
Then I lost the count
Now the room leans in
When the house walks out

There’s a mouth in the dark
That speaks in my tone
It says I’m alone
It says I’m home

Pre-Chorus
Don’t blink
Don’t speak
It’s getting closer

Don’t sleep
Don’t sleep
The air is older

Chorus
You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I can’t shut the door

You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I know what you want

Verse 2
The mirror stutters
When I pass by
One side of me
Never tells the whole lie

There’s a stain on the ceiling
Shaped like my fear
I scrub and I scrub
But it keeps me here

Every little silence
Has teeth of its own
It bites at my nerves
Till the nerves turn to stone

I wear my skin
Like a borrowed coat
Too tight in the chest
Too thin at the throat

Pre-Chorus
Don’t blink
Don’t speak
It’s getting closer

Don’t sleep
Don’t sleep
The air is older

Chorus
You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I can’t shut the door

You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I know what you want

Bridge
Say my name
From inside the walls
Say it low
When the hallway calls

If I run
It runs with me
If I kneel
It still can see

There’s no outside
There’s no clean air
Just a pulse in the dark
And a grin somewhere

Breakdown
Hands on the latch
Then hands on my throat
Tick of the clock
Like a knife in a boat

Back up
Back up
Don’t let it in

Back up
Back up
It lives in the skin

Final Chorus
You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I can’t shut the door

You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I know what you want

You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I hear you now

You’re in my head again
You’re in my head again
I let you out

Outro
The house goes quiet
But not for me
Something is standing
Where I should be

I hear you move
Through the wall
Little feet
On the other side
