Don’t Answer The Door

Lyrics

Three knocks
No footsteps
No shadow on the floor

Don't answer
Don't answer the door

The hallway breathes behind the walls
The clock is dead, the silence crawls
Three little knocks at three thirteen
Where no one stands and none have been

I killed the lights, I turned the key
Still something waits outside for me
No name, no face, no sound before

Knock
Knock
Knock

I know the rule
I know the cost
Don't let it in
Don't let it cross

But every night
It waits for more

Don't answer the door
I've heard those three knocks before
Don't answer the door
There's nothing outside anymore

Lock every window
Kill every light
Whatever is calling
Already knows I'm inside

Don't answer
Don't answer the door

Knock
Knock
Knock

Let me in

The handle turns without a hand
A blackened mark where I once stood
My reflection moves a second late
Then smiles at me and starts to wait

I hear my voice beyond the frame
It speaks my words, it knows my game
And now I know what scares me more

It sounds like me
Behind the door

I know the rule
I know the cost
Don't let it in
Don't let it cross

But now my hand
Is on the lock

Don't answer the door
I've heard those three knocks before
Don't answer the door
There's nothing outside anymore

Lock every window
Kill every light
Whatever is calling
Already knows I'm inside

Don't answer
Don't answer the door

Three knocks from the hallway
Three knocks from the wall
Three knocks underneath me

Then nothing at all

If I'm standing here

Who's outside?

Don't answer the door
I've heard those three knocks before
Don't answer the door
I know what it's waiting for

Lock every window
Kill every light
Whatever was calling
Was never outside

Don't answer
Don't answer the door

Knock
Knock

Knock

Too late
