[Verse 1]
I crack the spine
And let it bite
Old paper breathes
In the dead of night
The house goes still
My pulse gets loud
A cracked black page
Pulls me in now
[Pre-Chorus]
I love the chill
I chase the dread
That icing touch
Across my head
[Chorus]
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I want the fear
I want it close
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I read to shiver
I read to know
[Verse 2]
The lantern blinks
Like it knows my name
A crooked grin
In the window frame
Every scream
Feels like a hymn
I lean right in
And let it begin
[Pre-Chorus]
I love the chill
I chase the dread
That icing touch
Across my head
[Chorus]
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I want the fear
I want it close
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I read to shiver
I read to know
[Bridge]
Let the cold crawl in
Let my fingers turn to stone
If death is at the door
I won't be alone
[Final Chorus]
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I want the fear
I want it close
Cold sweat pages
Cold sweat pages
I read to shiver
I read to know
