Freddy Toes

Lyrics

[Intro] Floorboards count beneath the bed Five small marks where sleep has bled [Verse 1] You left one sock beside the chair A little trail of dust goes there Something soft drags down the hall Then stops outside the bedroom wall The clock has lost its second hand Cold breath curls across the fan You hold your blanket to your chin A tiny scrape begins again [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look down Don’t make a sound Something’s learning where you are [Chorus] Freddy toes creep through the night Five pale footsteps, out of sight Tap on wood and trace the floor Closer now than ever before Freddy toes beneath the door Curling where they curled before When the room forgets the light They come walking through your night [Verse 2] The closet door is open wide A crooked grin waits just inside Dusty prints climb up the frame Each one shaped like yours, the same Your phone is dead, the window sealed The mattress dips but nothing’s revealed Then from below, a muffled plea Says, “Leave a little room for me” [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look down Don’t make a sound Something’s breathing by the bed [Chorus] Freddy toes creep through the night Five pale footsteps, out of sight Tap on wood and trace the floor Closer now than ever before Freddy toes beneath the door Curling where they curled before When the room forgets the light They come walking through your night [Bridge] One by the curtain Two by the chair Three on the ceiling Four in your hair Five on the pillow Cold against your cheek You shut your eyes tight But they still move when you breathe [Final Chorus] Freddy toes creep through the night Five pale footsteps, holding tight Tap on wood and trace the floor Now they’re standing by your door Freddy toes across the floor No safe corner anymore When the room forgets the light They come walking through your night [Outro] Morning finds the room untouched Except five marks beneath your bed And one small footprint on your chest
