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.
