Door’s locked

But I still check it twice

Shadow on the coat rack

Looks me in the eyes

Ceiling fan

Spelling out my name

Every little creak in the hallway

Says I’m to blame

Fear’s got teeth in the dark

Chewing holes through my heart

I keep saying it’s nothing

But it pulls me apart

Fear’s got keys to my head

Lying next to my bed

I keep holding my breath

Till I’m already dead

Phone face down

Still I feel it buzz

Like a bad thought calling

That knows what I was

Coffee shakes

Long before the caffeine

Mind runs laps around pictures

Of things I haven’t seen

If I turn on all the lights

It just follows me inside

If I shout it from my chest

It just whispers

“You’re a lie”

You’re not safe

You’re not safe

You’re not safe
