Not Leaving

Verse 1

Basement full of people I don't know

Something's in the punch and it ain't alcohol

Told myself one drink then I'm out the front

That was hours ago

Lights keep buzzing like a trapped fly

Nobody's dancing but the floor won't stop

Moving underneath us

Like it's breathing slow

And the four walls keep closing in

And I feel them breathing on my skin

Pre-Chorus 1

Tell me why the music's slowing down

Tell me why my feet won't hit the ground

Something in the air is off tonight

Something here ain't right

Chorus

We're not leaving this party alive

Not leaving, not leaving tonight

Something in the dark wants to play

Something in the walls won't let us get away

We're not leaving this party alive

No way, no way, no way

Something's got a hold and it won't let go

Something's got a hold, oh no, oh no

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh,

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse 2

Got a bad feelin' I can't shake

Phone's got no signal and the time won't change

Everyone I came with disappeared

Somewhere between the kitchen and the stairs

Something breathing in the attic room

Something's scratching underneath this tune

talking but the talking don't stop

And the ceiling's getting lower every time I look up

Can't tell if I'm awake

Or if the walls decided I should stay

Pre-Chorus 2

Tell me why the ceiling's caving in

Tell me why the air is wearing thin

Something's in the room that shouldn't be

Something's here with me

Chorus

We're not leaving this party alive

Not leaving, not leaving tonight

Something in the dark wants to play

Something in the walls won't let us get away

We're not leaving this party alive

No way, no way, no way

Something's got a hold and it won't let go

Something's got a hold, oh no, oh no

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

oh-oh oh-oh

Don't look, don't look up

Bridge

Creepin' through the cellar with a butcher's patience

Ropes in my pocket and a taste for the waiting

Count the heads at the top of the stairs

None of them walking out of here

Basement got a hunger and it's mine to feed

Lock the hatch and let the dark do the dirty deed

Breakdown

We're not leaving

Not leaving

Not leaving this party alive

(aaaah!)

Chorus

We're not leaving this party alive

Not leaving, not leaving tonight

Something in the dark wants to play

Something in the walls won't let us get away

We're not leaving this party alive

No way, no way, no way

Something's got a hold and it won't let go

Something's got a hold, oh no, oh no

Outro

Nobody's walkin' out tonight

Nobody's walkin' out

Nobody!
