Intro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh)

Verse 1

Porch light flickers on our quiet street

Something in the air tonight is wrong

Kids in masks are knocking at my door

And I don't recognize a single one

Tommy swore he saw a shadow move

Up the stairs where nobody should be

I just laughed and told him ghosts ain't real

Now the mirror won't show me

Pre-Chorus

Every candle burning low

Every clock is running slow

Chorus

It's the night the walls start breathing

It's the night the mirrors lie

We are dancing with the strangers

Who were never really alive

(Oh-oh)

It's the night the walls start breathing

(Oh-oh)

We are never getting out

Verse 2

Candy wrappers scattered on the lawn

Something scratched a message in the glass

Mom says it's just wind against the pane

Wind don't write my name that fast

Neighbors pull their curtains down at nine

Every dog is howling at the moon

I keep telling everybody it's a game

But nobody's laughing now

Pre-Chorus

Every door is standing wide

Every shadow wants inside

Chorus

It's the night the walls start breathing

It's the night the mirrors lie

We are dancing with the strangers

Who were never really alive

(Oh-oh)

It's the night the walls start breathing

(Oh-oh)

We are never getting out

Bridge

Turn the lights on

Turn the lights off

Count the children

Count them again

Turn the lights on

Turn the lights off

One is missing

One is missing

Guitar Solo

Chorus

It's the night the walls start breathing

It's the night the mirrors lie

We are dancing with the strangers

Who were never really alive

(Oh-oh)

It's the night the walls start breathing

(Oh-oh)

We are never getting out

Drop

Never getting out

Never getting out

Outro

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh)
