Black Door Dream

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I fell asleep in my jeans Cold sheets, gunmetal green My ceiling split at the seam And he walked in on the dream Black coat dragging the floor Knuckles rapped on my door He said, "Boy, you know why I'm here" And the room got thin with fear [Pre-Chorus] Shadow on the wall Getting taller My heart hit the tile Then it faltered He smiled with no teeth Said, "Come closer" I tried to wake up But the dark held on tighter [Chorus] The devil came to see me (came to see me) The devil came to see me (in my sleep) He took my name slow Like it tasted sweet The devil came to see me (came to see me) [Verse 2] Red eyes in the glass One blink, then it passed He sat at the foot of the bed Like a debt I never paid He showed me gold in a jar A map, a knife, and a scar Said, "Pick one, it's all yours" Then the lights went hard [Pre-Chorus] Shadow on the wall Getting taller My mouth went dry My knees went hollow He leaned in close Cold breath, heavy I said, "Not tonight" But the dark said, "Ready" [Chorus] The devil came to see me (came to see me) The devil came to see me (in my sleep) He took my name slow Like it tasted sweet The devil came to see me (came to see me) [Bridge] I ran through the blacked-out hall He was there in every frame Every mirror said my face Then his mouth said my name I woke up choking on smoke With a bruise where his hand had been And I swear when I closed my eyes He was smiling from the skin [Chorus] The devil came to see me (came to see me) The devil came to see me (in my sleep) He took my name slow Like it tasted sweet The devil came to see me (came to see me) [Outro] If I sleep, don't let him in Don't let him in If I sleep, don't let him in Don't let him in
