Lyrics
[Intro — tape hiss / distant breathing / distorted guitar]
I know this house…
I know this fucking house.
But I've never been here.
[Verse 1]
Same cracked door, same hallway light,
Same old picture staring back tonight.
I turn left, I end up here,
Turn around—
It's fucking near.
Footsteps crawling underneath the floor,
Something scratching through the bedroom door.
I run downstairs, I hit the hall,
But every fucking hallway looks the same wall.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know this place.
I've seen these rooms.
But every door
leads somewhere new.
[Chorus — screamed]
NIGHTMARE!
I'M RUNNING THROUGH A HOUSE THAT KNOWS MY NAME!
NIGHTMARE!
EVERY EXIT LEADS ME BACK AGAIN!
Something's chasing me,
I hear it getting close.
I keep running faster—
BUT THIS FUCKING HOUSE WON'T LET ME GO!
[Verse 2]
Kitchen table, empty chair,
I swear I saw somebody sitting there.
Cold handprints running down the glass,
I look behind me—
Something passed.
The staircase bends where it shouldn't be,
There's a hallway where my bedroom used to be.
I kick the door, I scream for help,
Then hear my own voice screaming from somewhere else.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that voice.
I know that face.
But when I turn—
There's empty space.
[Chorus — heavier]
NIGHTMARE!
I'M RUNNING THROUGH A HOUSE THAT KNOWS MY NAME!
NIGHTMARE!
EVERY EXIT LEADS ME BACK AGAIN!
Something's chasing me,
I hear it getting close.
I keep running faster—
BUT THIS FUCKING HOUSE WON'T LET ME GO!
[Bridge — quiet / heartbeat bass]
I found the front door.
I finally found it.
The street outside
looks exactly like my street.
I reach for the handle—
And hear footsteps
coming from behind me.
(whisper)
“Don't leave.”
[Breakdown — crushing guitars]
RUN!
RUN!
RUN!
DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU!
RUN!
RUN!
RUN!
IT'S RIGHT FUCKING THERE!
I hit the door—
AND I'M BACK IN THE BEDROOM!
[Final Chorus — chaotic / screamed]
NIGHTMARE!
THIS FUCKING HOUSE IS IN MY HEAD!
NIGHTMARE!
EVERY ROOM IS SOMETHING DEAD!
I tear down every wall,
I smash every door,
I crawl through the ceiling—
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MORE FLOOR!
NIGHTMARE!
I HEAR IT BREATHING IN THE HALL!
NIGHTMARE!
I'M RUNNING BUT I'M NOT MOVING AT ALL!
I finally turn around—
AND SEE MYSELF
CHASING ME.
[Outro — guitar feedback / distant whisper]
Same house.
Same hallway.
Same door.
I open it.
I'm already standing inside.
Click.
“Welcome home.”
Static.
