Don't Answer That

Lyrics

[Intro] Who’s at the door? Don’t answer that. One long pause, then a laugh through the handset. [Verse 1] A white mask waits where the hallway bends, Black cloak brushing past the picture frames. He knows your favorite scary film by heart, He asks one question, lets the silence start. You check the lock; the chain is still in place, Then hear your own name spoken soft and plain. The house goes still, the clock forgets to chime, And every room feels smaller this time. [Chorus] Ghostface, Ghostface, calling through the night, One wrong answer and he’s out of sight. Ghostface, Ghostface, mask turned to the wall, When the phone rings twice, don’t answer at all. [Verse 2] He cuts the power; every screen goes black, A shape crosses the glass, then doubles back. You race upstairs, he’s already there, A gloved hand rests on the vacant chair. He leaves the door ajar, a cruel little game, Lets panic do the work before he says your name. No hero’s safe just because they’ve seen the scene; The last one standing still checks every screen. [Chorus] Ghostface, Ghostface, calling through the night, One wrong answer and he’s out of sight. Ghostface, Ghostface, mask turned to the wall, When the phone rings twice, don’t answer at all. [Bridge] No blood on the lens, just a face in the frame, A voice with a question, a breath, then your name. The legend keeps moving from room into room; The mask holds its grin while the house falls mute. [Final Chorus] Ghostface, Ghostface, calling through the night, One wrong answer and he’s out of sight. Ghostface, Ghostface, mask turned to the wall, When the phone rings twice, don’t answer at all. [Outro] The line goes dead. The house stays still. Then the phone rings again.
