DON'T GO DOWN! DON'T LOOK BACK lyrics

[INTRO – creepy whispered voice] You hear that? Three knocks… Nobody's downstairs. At least… nobody should be. [CHORUS – aggressive shouted vocals] DON'T GO DOWN! DON'T LOOK BACK! SOMETHING DOWN THERE IS OFF THE TRACK! HEAR THAT SCRATCH? HEAR THAT SCREAM? SOMEBODY'S LIVING IN MY BAD DREAM! KNOCK! KNOCK! WHO'S AT THE DOOR? I HEARD THAT STUFF COMING FROM THE FLOOR! LOCK IT UP! THROW AWAY THE KEY! THERE'S SOMETHING DOWNSTAIRS THAT LOOKS LIKE ME! [VERSE 1] Bought this house cheap, now I know why, Previous owner left without saying goodbye. Got a weird little smell coming out of the wall, And a voice saying softly, "I remember you all." First night sleeping, heard a scrape and a drag, Something moving around in an old garbage bag. Checked the damn basement, just a chair and a light, And a family photograph with my face inside. I never lived here, never seen that place, But the picture had a smile with my exact same face. Now the pipes start talking when I turn off the sink, And the toilet keeps laughing every time that I blink. [CHORUS] DON'T GO DOWN! DON'T LOOK BACK! SOMETHING DOWN THERE IS OFF THE TRACK! HEAR THAT SCRATCH? HEAR THAT SCREAM? SOMEBODY'S LIVING IN MY BAD DREAM! [VERSE 2] I put a lock on the door, put a chair in the way, Heard a voice from below say, "Come out and play." I said, "Not tonight, you can stay down there," Then something whispered, "I can smell your hair." My dog won't enter, my cat won't stay, Even the damn spiders packed up and ran away. I called up my friend, said, "Something ain't right," He came through the doorway and vanished from sight. Now I'm standing in the kitchen with a hammer in my hand, Trying to understand what the heck's in my land. Then the basement door opens, slow as can be, And a voice from the darkness says, "You belong to me." [Bridge] I locked the door… I checked the chain… I heard my own voice… CALLING MY NAME! [VERSE 3 – fast aggressive flow] Now the walls got eyes and the ceiling talks, I hear little footsteps when nobody walks. The lights keep flickering, the shadows don't match, There's a hand coming out through the hole in the latch. I ran for the front door, but the hallway was gone, The house kept breathing like a living dark spawn. I finally understood what the voice wanted me to see… THAT THING IN THE BASEM
