The Wicked

Verse 1

Shadows crawl across my wall tonight

A stranger lurks where the candlelight dies

Whispering that lifts the hairs on my arm

Something waits behind those hollow eyes

Pre-Chorus

I feel it breathing down my neck

Cold fingers tracing every step

Chorus

The wicked roam and they control

The wicked hand holds the gun

Tonight the cold sits in my bones

The wicked feast on everyone

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Hide your face from the sun

Verse 2

The innocents all look away

Heavy eyes behold the steady creep

I count the floorboards one by one

While the wicked wait and watch me sleep

Pre-Chorus

I feel it breathing down my neck

Cold fingers tracing every step

Chorus

The wicked roam and they control

The wicked hand holds the gun

Tonight the cold sits in my bones

The wicked feast on everyone

Bridge

And if I scream will anyone come

Or will they just pretend

The stranger wears a borrowed smile

The night swallows every friend

Chorus

The wicked roam and they control

The wicked hand holds the gun

Tonight the cold sits in my bones

The wicked feast on everyone

Post-Chorus

Run run run

Hide your face from the sun
