I saw you creeping through the hallway in your socks Like a fox in the henhouse trying to outsmart the locks You think I’m sleeping but I’m staring at the wall Counting every footstep, yeah, I’m tracking them all The rumor mill is spinning like a ceiling fan And everybody knows you’ve got a secondary plan I heard about the party and the guy in the back Now my heart is racing like a panic attack So go ahead and lie to my face I love the way you try to plead your case But I got eyes everywhere, I got ghosts in the room Turning this sunny afternoon into your doom I don’t want to hear the story, I don’t want to know the time I don’t need a confession for your little social crime You’re living in a daydream, waking up inside a fright Welcome to the shadows, baby, welcome to the night Run until your feet bleed, hide until you choke Everything you built here just went up in smoke I’m the monster in the closet, I’m the voice inside your head You should have spared the details, now you’re wishing you were dead Yo, look at who’s trembling, look at who’s scared Caught in the headlights, totally unprepared I traded in my acoustic for a jagged little knife Metaphorically speaking, I’m dissecting your life You thought you played a player but you played yourself Now your reputation’s gathering dust on the shelf I’m spitting venom while you’re crying out tears This is the sum of all your deepest darkest fears So keep talking while I turn up the sound Bury all your secrets deep underground But dirt don’t cover up the smell of the rot And I’m the only real friend that you got I don’t want to hear the story, I don’t want to know the time I don’t need a confession for your little social crime You’re living in a daydream, waking up inside a fright Welcome to the shadows, baby, welcome to the night Run until your feet bleed, hide until you choke Everything you built here just went up in smoke I’m the monster in the closet, I’m the voice inside your head You should have spared the details, now you’re wishing you were dead It’s funny how the tables turn when the lights go out It’s funny how you whisper when you used to shout One, two, I’m coming for you Three, four, lock the door Five, six, pick up your sticks Seven, eight, it’s already too late I don’t want to hear the story, I don’t want to know the time I don’t need a confession for your little social crime You’re living in a daydream, waking up inside a fright Welcome to the shadows, baby, welcome to the night Run until your feet bleed, hide until you choke Everything you built here just went up in smoke I’m the monster in the closet, I’m the voice inside your head You should have spared the details, now you’re wishing you were dead Yeah, spare me the details Save it for the priest You just woke up the beast Nightmare Nightmare
