What's Your Favorite Scary

Lirik

[Verse 1] You pause beside the payphone booth Rain ticking hard on rusted tin A paper ticket, seat number nine And someone breathing just behind [Pre-Chorus] The theater sign has lost one letter The doors swing wide in stormy weather You ask me softly, “Pick one tonight” I point toward the screen with no light [Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? Tell me what keeps you awake Choose a tale with a crooked hallway Or a face that wears your shape What’s your favorite scary movie? Don’t turn around, don’t check the door If the credits start to roll behind you You won’t be watching anymore [Verse 2] The usher wears a silver mask He knows the name you never gave A red exit sign begins to blink The floorboards creak before you think [Pre-Chorus] One empty row, one vacant seat A ticket waits beside your feet You hear your voice come from the screen Calling from somewhere in between [Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? Tell me what keeps you awake Choose a tale with a crooked hallway Or a face that wears your shape What’s your favorite scary movie? Don’t turn around, don’t check the door If the credits start to roll behind you You won’t be watching anymore [Bridge] The projector burns through every frame The final scene repeats your name You reach for me, but I’m not there Just two bright eyes inside the glare [Final Chorus] What’s your favorite scary movie? Now the question’s yours to hear Pick a story, make it quickly Something worse is drawing near What’s your favorite scary movie? The house goes quiet, curtains close When the screen turns black before you Guess which ending no one knows [Outro] The ticket tears by itself And the empty seat turns toward you
