Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
Woke up staring at a sun-bleached main street
A name I don't possess is lying at my feet
Got a flicker of a feeling buried deep
Just a buzzing in my bones
And the grit caught in my teeth
Pre-Chorus
There's a memory of a scream that has no sound
Something wicked's turning over in this ground
Chorus
Don't you bother with the lock upon your door
It won't stop the man I truly was before
There's a darkness you were always waiting for
Just stand aside and let the bad man in
(Let him in)
Instrumental Break
Verse 2
Found a notice on the old town message board
With a stranger's likeness that I've seen before
And a list of all the sins he's wanted for
It feels less like a warning
And much more like a reward
Pre-Chorus
There's a vision of a blade that shines so bright
Someone's future is ending here tonight
Chorus
Don't you bother with the lock upon your door
It won't stop the man I truly was before
There's a darkness you were always waiting for
Just stand aside and let the bad man in
(Let him in)
Bridge
This emptiness was never a curse
It was just a quiet place to get much worse
I remember how this works!
Guitar Solo
Final Chorus
Don't you bother with the lock upon your door
It won't stop the man I truly was before
There's a darkness you were always waiting for
Just stand aside and let the bad man in!
(Let him in!)
Outro
Let the bad man in
(Let him in)
