Flicker Ward

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The front desk is dead Paper pinned with claws Tiny paw prints drying On the tile floor A bunny in a lab coat Standing far too still Glassy little smile And a carton filled with pills [Pre-Chorus] I hear the doors lock One by one by one Footsteps in the hallway Getting closer, run [Chorus] Flicker ward, flicker ward Don’t let it see you Flicker ward, flicker ward It knows your name too Cute little faces Turn to bite Flicker ward, flicker ward Hide in the light [Verse 2] In the treatment room The charts all shake Every stitched-up patient Wakes up when I take The bone-white key From the broken sink Something in the vents Keeps repeating, “think” A cat with bandaged hands Scrapes the metal door I solve the puzzle fast Then it wants more [Pre-Chorus] Alarms in the ceiling Scream and fade and scream Whispers in the corners Calling out to me [Chorus] Flicker ward, flicker ward Don’t let it see you Flicker ward, flicker ward It knows your name too Cute little faces Turn to bite Flicker ward, flicker ward Hide in the light [Bridge] Soft paws, sharp teeth Behind the frosted glass Every little heartbeat Runs out fast No exit, no mercy Just a hallway glow I can feel them circling Even when I go [Final Chorus] Flicker ward, flicker ward Don’t let it see you Flicker ward, flicker ward It knows your name too Cute little faces Turn to bite Flicker ward, flicker ward Hide in the light Flicker ward, flicker ward The masks all裂 Flicker ward, flicker ward I’m still alive
