[Sound: Slow, heavy knock on wood… Knock. Knock. Knock.]
Verse 1
I know you’re in there, sitting behind the latch Holding your breath, waiting for the dark to pass You turned off the lights, pretend nobody’s home Hoping the shadow outside will leave you alone But I don’t need an invitation to enter your head I know every lock you bought and every prayer you said
Pre-Chorus
Knock, knock… who’s there? The consequence of everything you tried to spare.
Chorus
Let me in! I’m not asking for a key! Let me in! I’m the nightmare you were dying to see! You can bolt every shutter and seal up the seam But I’m already inside of your favorite dream Knock, knock… Let me in!
Verse 2
You built a fortress out of rules and fear Told yourself the Purple Queen couldn’t reach you here But fear is a doorway that opens from inside And you’ve been thinking about me all through the night Your curiosity is turning the key right now You want to see what happens when you finally bow
Pre-Chorus 2
Knock, knock… who’s there? The beauty in the horror that you cannot bear.
Chorus
Let me in! I’m not asking for a key! Let me in! I’m the nightmare you were dying to see! You can bolt every shutter and seal up the seam But I’m already inside of your favorite dream Knock, knock… Let me in!
Bridge
[Heavy industrial bass beat and whisper echoes] Knock… knock… Don’t make me break the door down… It’s so much sweeter when you open it yourself… Turn the knob… slide the bolt… let me in.
Final Chorus
Let me in! The threshold is crossed! Let me in! Look at everything you lost! I am standing in your room while you scream at the air Welcome to the horror that was always waiting there! Knock, knock… I’m in.
