Crooked Room

Crooked Room [Verse 1] Crooked room and a crooked chair Something in the wallpaper breathing there Cup on the table, ring in the wood I don’t think sleeping ever did me much good Hallway light with a nicotine glow Floorboards ticking like they already know I keep my shoes by the edge of the bed Like I might have to leave what lives in my head [Pre-Chorus] Thin wall Low hum Something bad Trying to become [Chorus] Let it move Don’t let it stay Ghost in the plaster, ache in the frame Let it talk Don’t take the bait Every little fever wants a face and a name Cold cup Bent spoon I can hear my nerves in this crooked room [Verse 2] Sink got a drip like a tongue on a tooth Mirror won’t hold me the same as the truth I saw my breath where it shouldn’t be Something in the silence putting weight on me Neighbor’s TV leaking through the wall Laugh track dying in the empty hall I want a sign, I want out, I want sleep But the dark just hands me back everything I keep [Pre-Chorus] Bad dream No door Every prayer Hits the floor [Chorus] Let it move Don’t let it stay Ghost in the plaster, ache in the frame Let it talk Don’t take the bait Every little fever wants a face and a name Cold cup Bent spoon I can hear my nerves in this crooked room [Bridge] There’s a shape in the corner But it might be my breath There’s a god in the wiring Or a sickness undressed Everybody says hold on Everybody says fight But the crack in the ceiling Says sit through the night [Final Chorus] Let it move Don’t let it stay Rot in the rafters, pulse in the paint Let it scratch Don’t scratch back Every little panic wants to climb in your lap Bare bulb Black bloom I can hear my name in this crooked room [Outro] Drip in the sink Buzz in the wire Someone in here Breathing lighter
