Keep the Door Shut

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The hallway clock forgets to move Dust hangs above the empty room Four painted faces watch the door Their smiles were never meant for sleep anymore [Pre-Chorus] The power drops, the room turns blue A tiny melody starts without you [Chorus] Keep the door shut, count to five Hear those footsteps come alive When the red light blinks, don't breathe Something in the dark is learning how to see Keep the door shut, hold your ground Don't let that old parade come round Morning feels a world away Survive the night until the walls turn gray [Verse 2] A paper cup rolls across the floor The camera skips, then shows one more A torn-up bib beside the stage And metal fingers curling through the cage [Pre-Chorus] The battery sinks, the fan runs slow A broken laugh begins below [Chorus] Keep the door shut, count to five Hear those footsteps come alive When the red light blinks, don't breathe Something in the dark is learning how to see Keep the door shut, hold your ground Don't let that old parade come round Morning feels a world away Survive the night until the walls turn gray [Bridge] If you hear singing, kill the screen If you see nothing, check between The room is small, the hours wide There is no safe place left inside [Final Chorus] Keep the door shut, count to five Hear those footsteps come alive When the red light blinks, don't breathe Something in the dark is learning how to see Keep the door shut, hold your ground Don't let that old parade come round When the sunrise finds the room Will there be anyone left to hear the tune? [Outro] The hallway clock begins to move Dust settles in the empty room Four painted faces watch the door And one of them is smiling like before
