Verse 1
There’s a mirror in the hallway breathing softly in code
Every shadow on the ceiling knows the places I’ve owed
Pinned a secret to the curtain with a rusted silver pin
But the silence keeps on humming like it wants to let me in
Pre-Chorus
And the walls keep whispering
Every word you hid from me
Chorus
There are teeth in the wallpaper
Smiling when the lights go out
Every promise tastes like paper
Every whisper starts to shout
If the truth is in the fracture
In the pattern of the lies
Then the teeth in the wallpaper
Are just learning how to bite
Verse 2
Left a message in the staircase made of dust and regret
Every step another echo of a ghost we haven’t met
You were laughing in the doorway with your hands full of glass
Like the past was just a riddle that was never meant to pass
Pre-Chorus
Now the ceiling starts to spin
And the quiet’s closing in
Chorus
There are teeth in the wallpaper
Smiling when the lights go out
Every promise tastes like paper
Every whisper starts to shout
If the truth is in the fracture
In the pattern of the lies
Then the teeth in the wallpaper
Are just learning how to bite
Outro
So pull the thread out from the night
Watch the whole house come apart
Every secret that you buried
Left a staircase to your heart.
