about

This song is inspired by the Ray Bradbury tale of the same name.
i fucking love Ray Bradbury. hit me up if you also fucking love Ray Bradbury.

lyrics

i walk through the front door
it shuts itself behind me
this is the house that i once loved
those are the steps i'll always hate

i sometimes wonder if
it still lives up there

i can feel it breathing down my neck
if i do it just right i won't

i ascend so slowly
you would, too

this thing is evil, it likes to kill
little boys blood it loves to spill
in death it finds its only thrill
it chills my spine and i'm so scared
the thing at the top of the stairs

all that i have to do
is turn the light on

it's so close now, i almost see!
thrust my hand out in victory
but now my bladder can hardly believe
i touch it, it's real, as real as can be

it's been waiting for me to come back home
