Verse 1 Midnight swallowed every star, I don’t remember where we are. The front door opened on its own… It knew I’d come back home. Cobweb fingers touched my skin, Something laughed from deep within. Every portrait watched me breathe… None of them would blink. Pre-Chorus Don’t say my name… It hears everything. Don’t make a sound… It’s listening. Chorus Haunted house… don’t look upstairs. Something’s waiting in the dark. Every heartbeat feeds the walls, Every whisper leaves a mark. Haunted house… don’t turn around. If you hear me… that’s not me now. Run before the candles die… Or this house will wear your eyes. Verse 2 Footsteps walked across the ceiling, Slow enough to stop my breathing. Every door I locked behind… Opened from the inside. Cold hands reached beneath the floor, Someone scratched behind the door. Tiny voices sang my name… None of them were human. Pre-Chorus Don’t close your eyes… It waits for that. Don’t lose the light… It likes the black. Chorus Haunted house… don’t look upstairs. Something’s waiting in the dark. Every heartbeat feeds the walls, Every whisper leaves a mark. Haunted house… don’t turn around. If you hear me… that’s not me now. Run before the candles die… Or this house will wear your eyes. Bridge There’s someone standing in the hallway… Smiling where a face should be. Every mirror shows them closer… Every mirror hides the real me. The stairs are breathing. The windows bleed moonlight. The walls are counting… One… by one… by one… Final Chorus Haunted house… don’t answer back. Every shadow’s on your track. Every picture knows your face. Every room has kept your place. Haunted house… don’t cross the door. You’ll forget what came before. When they ask you where you’ve been… You’ll just smile… and let them in. Outro (whispered) If you hear knocking… don’t answer. If the knocking stops… Run. Because it’s already inside.
