The Peephole

Verse 1

Curtains drawn against the street

One lamp burning low

Every car that slows outside

I check the peephole

Did you tell them what I did

Did you pass my name around

My phone is face down on the counter

Waiting for the sound

Pre-Chorus

And I know I earned this quiet

Every second of the dread

I know I built this prison

With my own two hands

Chorus

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I can hear it breathing

On the other side

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I locked it twice and still I hide

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Still I hide

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse 2

Walking fast with my hood up

Glancing at the glass

Every stranger on the corner

Feels like someone you sent past

I took what wasn't mine to take

Smiled right to your face

Now the sidewalk's full of shadows

And I can't outrun this place

Pre-Chorus

And I know I earned this quiet

Every second of the dread

I know I built this prison

With my own two hands

Chorus

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I can hear it breathing

On the other side

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I locked it twice and still I hide

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Still I hide

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Bridge

Turn the lights down

Turn the lock slow

Every heartbeat

Says you know

Turn the lights down

Turn the lock slow

Every heartbeat says you know

Chorus

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I can hear it breathing

On the other side

Karma's at the door

Karma's at the door

I locked it twice and still I hide

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Still I hide

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Outro

Then the doorbell rings
