Cellblock Ouija

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They locked the door on me Steel taste in my mouth My shadow on the floor Looked wrong somehow Tiny bed, bare wall Count the cracks by hand Bootsteps in the hall Like they know my name I told the night to leave It just leaned in close Something tapped my ribs From the vent above Cold air in my lungs I heard that low laugh Said, "You came alone" Then the dark stared back [Pre-Chorus] And he spoke my sin Like he wrote the file Said, "Boy, you been mine For a little while" I gripped that bunk Till my knuckles burned He said, "That door can wait Let me make you learn" [Chorus] In my cell, in my cell The devil came close In my cell, in my cell I felt that cold smoke He said, "Boy, you owed Every breath you stole" In my cell, in my cell He knew my soul [Verse 2] He wore my face one time In the black glass pane Same dead eyes, same grin Same old shame Said, "I was with you there When you crossed that line" Then the sink dripped red Like a slow red sign I laughed out loud Till it sounded thin He leaned on the wall Then he stepped back in "One more key, one lie And you're all I'm owed" I bit my tongue Till it split my throat [Pre-Chorus] And he spoke my sin Like he wrote the file Said, "Boy, you been mine For a little while" I gripped that bunk Till my knuckles burned He said, "That door can wait Let me make you learn" [Chorus] In my cell, in my cell The devil came close In my cell, in my cell I felt that cold smoke He said, "Boy, you owed Every breath you stole" In my cell, in my cell He knew my soul [Bridge] Then the lights cut out And the room went thin I heard my own voice From the vent again It said, "Don't sign What he put in ink" So I said my name And I refused to sink When dawn bled gray He was gone, gone quiet But the lock still shook Like it heard a riot [Chorus] In my cell, in my cell The devil came close In my cell, in my cell I felt that cold smoke He said, "Boy, you owed Every breath you stole" In my cell, in my cell He knew my soul
