Evil Dreams

Hush, the hallway breathes, the floorboards know my name

Clock hands crawl like spiders, tangled in my brain

Moonlight cuts the curtains into crooked seams

I taste iron in the silence of these evil dreams

Footsteps in the ceiling, lullabies off key

Every door is watching, counting down on me

Evil dreams, come swallow up the light

Grip me by the heartbeat, drag me through the night

Wake me if you can, I'm drowning in the screams

Pull me from the teeth of these evil dreams

Pictures on the mantle grin with broken teeth

Cold air writes a message, fogging up my sleep

Candles drip like hours, wax and winter's steam

I keep falling through the floor of these evil dreams

Whispers slip like needles, stitching up my eyes

Walls bend in the pitch black, telling me their lies

Whisper Don't look back, don't look back

Evil dreams, come swallow up the light

Grip me by the heartbeat, drag me through the night

Wake me if you can, I'm drowning in the screams

Pull me from the teeth of these evil dreams

I claw at the dark with a ragged breath

Name every ghost till there's nothing left

If fear is a kingdom, I'll burn the throne

Turn the key of the night and walk it home

Wake up, wake up

Tick tock tick tock sleep won't come

Count the cracks till I come undone

If the dawn is late, I'll light the seams

And sew my way out of these evil dreams

Evil dreams, come swallow up the light

Grip me by the heartbeat, drag me through the night

Wake me if you can, I'm drowning in the screams

Pull me from the teeth of these evil dreams
