Front porch flicker
Buzzing porch light shake
Boot print on the welcome mat
One set’s mine
One’s too big
Phone line breathing
Static
Then my name
Sink full of kitchen knives
Every drawer
Wide awake
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
Blood-red letters on my TV screen
I keep running through the same dead scene
Same dark road
Same cold scream
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
And I don’t wake up
I just bleed between
Back door swinging
Chain lock kissed the floor
Family picture face turned down
Glass like teeth
By the door
Car keys missing
But the engine coughs
Backseat shadow sings my song
Breath on glass
Writes “get lost”
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
Blood-red letters on my TV screen
I keep running through the same dead scene
Same dark road
Same cold scream
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
And I don’t wake up
I just bleed between
Every hallway
Every closet
Every mirror
Shows your mask
Every heartbeat
Every footstep
Says it’s coming
Coming back
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
Blood-red letters on my TV screen
I keep running through the same dead scene
Same dark road
Same cold scream
You’re the slasher in my small town dream
If I’m the last one
Let me rip this screen
