Basement Door

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left the key in the door I heard it turn by itself Three knocks on the back porch Then nothing there but cold air Your name on the window Written in fog and ash I should've kept walking But I came right back [Pre-Chorus] Now the floorboards answer When I say your name And the hallway bends Like it knows my shame [Chorus] Don't open that door Don't open that door It knows your breath It wants more, more, more (more, more, more) Don't open that door Don't open that door If you hear it call Run before it knocks again (again) [Verse 2] The mirror keeps my face A second too long My shadow moves first When the power goes wrong There's a grin in the basement Under the missing stairs I threw every lock on It still comes up here [Pre-Chorus] Now the house is humming Like a mouth with teeth And the dark keeps saying You belong with me [Chorus] Don't open that door Don't open that door It knows your breath It wants more, more, more (more, more, more) Don't open that door Don't open that door If you hear it call Run before it knocks again (again) [Bridge] If I hold my breath Maybe it goes away If I close my eyes Maybe night won't stay But the key is moving And the chain is loose Something in this house Is learning how to choose [Final Chorus] Don't open that door Don't open that door It knows your breath It wants more, more, more (more, more, more) Don't open that door Don't open that door If you hear it call Run before it knocks again (again)
