Five Nights

Lyrics

[Intro] The hallway clock forgets to move Dust hangs thick above the room A paper moon on painted glass Counts each footstep as I pass [Verse 1] You signed your name beneath the rules Checked the cameras, checked the tools The prize room smiles with empty eyes Something shifts behind the signs The office hums, the screen turns blue A little bell rings once for you Four plastic faces hold their pose Then one is standing where it wasn’t supposed [Pre-Chorus] Keep the door shut, keep your breathing low When the red light flickers, do not go [Chorus] Five nights, five nights, hold the line Something hungry waits outside Five nights, five nights, morning feels far away Watch the corners, guard the door Hear those footsteps cross the floor Five nights, five nights, make it through another day [Verse 2] The left hall camera loses frame The right one plays the same old game A grin appears beside the fan You swear it wasn’t there before it began The power meter drops a bar The ceiling sings above the car No road, no help, no open gate Just one more hour to outwait fate [Pre-Chorus] Keep the door shut, keep your breathing low When the red light flickers, do not go [Chorus] Five nights, five nights, hold the line Something hungry waits outside Five nights, five nights, morning feels far away Watch the corners, guard the door Hear those footsteps cross the floor Five nights, five nights, make it through another day [Bridge] If you hear a child laugh, count to ten If the music stops, don’t look again Every painted tooth, every frozen stare Knows the shape of someone standing there [Breakdown] One light Two halls No sleep No calls The clock crawls The lock shakes A dawn that never wakes [Final Chorus] Five nights, five nights, hold the line Something hungry waits outside Five nights, five nights, morning feels far away Watch the corners, guard the door Hear those footsteps cross the floor Five nights, five nights, make it through another day [Outro] The hallway clock begins to move Daylight leaks across the room You reach the door, you hear a chime And somewhere deep, another night begins in time
