Cover your mouth
The wolves at the door can hear you now
And I think I see eyes beneath your couch

So

There's knives in the kitchen

They're stuck in the walls, go pull them down
We can still close our eyes if this goes south
Go say your prayers now


There's cracks in the mirrors
Your secrets are spilling from your mouth

But there's no going back from this point now
So


The wallpaper's peeling
I see your breath in the air, it's shaped like words
And the blood in your eyes in shining

Your fingernails drag across the walls as you unlock the door

And now the wolves are shaped like people

Their eyelids are all fluttering
Their hands are never steady
And the rainclouds leak in through the chimney

They're crawling up my back
I can't stop laughing, can't stop laughing
The wolves all dance across the ceiling

But the rhythm of their stops is like a heartbeat
Like a drumbeat
And I'm backing through the open doorway

This place is not for me
It's not my hell
I didn't paint it

So

It's written on the back of your hands

You know, you know
You've gotta pay for all the things you've ever thought
These bones are all you own

You've gotta pay for all the things you've ever lost
And then some


Now my head's come off
And all I know is spilling out into the ground
I'm watching it grow

All these vines will choke me
But I have to grin
It's a fitting end for where this began


I woke through clouds of syrup
And the world looked fine

Bad dreams are nothing special
They happen all the time
At least I think so
