Call Her Up

(intro) Lock the door. Kill the light. Bare your teeth. Let her loose tonight. I kept you sweet when you wanted blood. Kept your claws tucked in. Kept your temper shut. But I hear you scratching. (Verse 1) Salt on your tongue, dirt on your knees, moon through the window while you look at me. Hair coming loose, nails on the floor, I know that look. You want more. There’s a pulse in the walls. There’s a heat in your blood. I can see that animal coming up. I spent too damn long keeping you sweet. Tonight... I let her eat. (Pre-Chorus) Come closer. Closer. Hear that sound? That isn’t fear. That’s your leash hit the ground. (Chorus) Call her up. Call her up. From the marrow, from the mud. Let her crawl through bone and blood. Call her up. Call her up. No more pretty. No more tame. Give me teeth. Give me fire in your veins. Scratch the circle. Break the lock. Let the whole damn house erupt. I know what you are when I stop holding you back. Call her up. (Verse 2) Black dress drags across the floor. Red wax bleeds through the door. Eyes go darker. Breath goes thin. There she is. Let her in. I’ve seen her behind your eyes. All instinct. No disguise. Don't beg. Don't chase. Just wait (Pre-Chorus) Come closer. Closer. Let me feel your pulse pound. There it is. That’s not panic. That’s the animal coming out. (Chorus) Call her up. Call her up. From the marrow, from the mud. Let her crawl through bone and blood. Call her up. Call her up. No more pretty. No more tame. Give me teeth. Give me fire in your veins. Scratch the circle. Break the lock. Let the whole damn house erupt. I know what you are when I stop holding you back. Call her up. (Bridge) Wake. Wake. Wake. I know you’re in there. Wake. Wake. Wake. I kept you chained. Wake. Wake. Wake. show me what you are I know you. I know those eyes. I know exactly what I’ve helped hide. And tonight... I want it all Good girl’s dead. (Break Down) SO LET HER OUT. No leash. No lock. No holding back. LET HER OUT. Rip the ribbon. Spit it out. I didn’t drag you from the dark. I stopped protecting the world FROM YOU. Teeth out. Eyes up. Blood hot. CALL HER UP. (Final Chorus) Call her up. Call her up. Let her rise beneath your skin. I’ve spent too damn long keeping that beautiful thing in. Call her up. Call her up. Let the tamed thing die. Give me instinct. Give me fury. Give me moonlight in your eyes. Break the lock. Drop the leash. Let the thing inside you breathe. You wanted me to let you go? Fine. Go feral for me. Call her up. Call her up. CALL. HER. UP. (Outro) No spell broken. No Monster to blame I call you forward With your real name
