Watch[ing] Me

Lyrics

[INTRODUCTION] [VERSE 1] There’s a knock behind the walls again Like a pulse beneath the paint Every room I’ve tried to leave behind Still remembers my mistakes Something’s moving through the floorboards Something’s breathing in the dark And it sounds a little like my own voice When nobody else is around [PRE-CHORUS] I should run I should run Why does part of me want to stay? [CHORUS] Come a little closer That’s what the shadow said Come a little closer But I don’t want my secrets read Every hallway leads me deeper Every doorway looks the same Something’s calling from the darkness And it knows me by my name [VERSE 2] There’s a stranger in the mirror And he’s wearing my skin Says he’ll help me kill the silence Says he’ll help me fit back in Says the truth is way too heavy Says the light is way too bright Says a secret only hurts you When you drag it into the light [PRE-CHORUS] I should run I should run But I don’t know which way [CHORUS] Come a little closer That’s what the shadow said Come a little closer But I don’t want my secrets read Every hallway leads me deeper Every doorway looks the same Something’s calling from the darkness And it knows me by my name [POST-CHORUS] It knows every locked door Every place I disappear Every version of myself That I built to keep me here [BRIDGE] Nobody has to know. I already know. Keep it buried. Bring it here. You better hide. What are you hiding for? Stay where it’s safe. Is this safe? You’ll never change. … You’ll never change. … You’ll never change. … Watch Me. [GLITCH BREAKDOWN] Watch me -watch me -watch me -watch me (WATCH ME) Watch me -watch me -watch me -watch me You’ll never— Watch me You’ll never— Watch me You’ll never— Watch me [FINAL CHORUS] Come a little closer That’s what the shadow said Come a little closer But I don’t want my secrets read Every hallway leads me deeper Every doorway looks the same Something’s calling from the darkness And it knows me by my name [OUTRO] Spent so long asking for rescue That I forgot what rescue means Of course somebody had to come If anyone was ever gonna rescue me There’s a knock behind the walls again But it doesn’t sound the same Something’s calling from the darkness But now I know His name
