Lyrics

The hallway creaks I freeze in place
Every wall looks like it has a face
I keep my voice down low
Don’t let the fear show

Every wall screams loud
And if I fall in line it makes them proud
I walk down the creaky hall
Head bowed low I won’t stand tall

Every noise brings pain
I feel like I’m going insane
It’s like they hear every word
And this family hurts

These rooms have ears
They hear every fallen tear
Cover my mouth don’t let it hear me fade

These rooms have ears
They drink in all the fear
It was meant to keep me safe
But I’m slowly digging my grave
And the walls can smell that I’m afraid

A floorboard snaps
He feels he’s falling into a trap
A cage meant to keep him safe
While he fades and they can’t save

All I hear are screams but no one’s there
Walking broken halls I feel their stare
Breaths grow fast my vision blurs
Every word is heard

One mistake you won’t be loved
Try to be brave but get shoved
No one’s near but I feel their hold
Like they won’t let me grow old

They don’t care
No one else will be aware
The halls listen to you
But then there’s nothing new

These rooms have ears
They hear every fallen tear
Cover my mouth don’t let it hear me fade

These rooms have ears
They drink in all the fear
It was meant to keep me safe
But I’m slowly digging my grave
And the walls can smell that I’m afraid

Sometimes I swear the walls breathe
And I’m always close to death
Then I wake in a bright room I couldn’t be free
And see I’m alive the darkness didn’t consume me

These rooms have ears
They hear every fallen tear
Cover my mouth don’t let it hear me fade

These rooms have ears
They drink in all the fear
It was meant to keep me safe
But I’m slowly digging my grave
And the walls can smell that I’m afraid

He thinks no one cares
He disappears in the years
He stands there in tears

And these rooms have ears
