Can You Fix It?

Lyrics

# I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?
[INTRO — almost inaudible whisper]
I broke it…
I heard it scream.
I didn't mean to.
…at least I don't think I did.
…at least I don't think I did.
[VERSE 1]
There was something living in the walls
I heard it breathing when I slept
I put my hands against the darkness
And felt it crawling underneath
I found a little piece of something
Buried deep inside my head
I tried to pull it out completely
But something pulled me back instead
[PRE-CHORUS]
Now the lights don't know my name
The mirrors don't reflect the same
Something wearing my face
Is standing in the hallway…
[CHORUS]
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?**
**CAN YOU PUT THE DEAD BACK IN?**
**I CRACKED THE DOOR TO SOMETHING**
**THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO GET IN!**
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?**
**CAN YOU MAKE THE SCREAMING STOP?**
**I CAN HEAR IT IN THE CEILING**
**I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BLOOD!**
[VERSE 2]
Every night it moves a little closer
Every night it learns my voice
It whispers all the things I've buried
Like it knows I had no choice
There's a second shadow behind me
But there's nobody there
I feel fingers on my shoulder
When I'm standing in the air
[PRE-CHORUS]
Something knocks from inside the closet
Something answers from below
Something whispers through my teeth:
**“You broke me…
Now let me go.”**
[CHORUS]
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?**
**CAN YOU MAKE ME WHO I WAS?**
**CAN YOU CUT IT FROM MY BODY**
**BEFORE IT BECOMES MY GOD?**
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?**
**CAN YOU SEAL THE FUCKING DOOR?**
**'CAUSE SOMETHING ON THE OTHER SIDE**
**DOESN'T KNOCK ANYMORE!**
[BREAKDOWN — distorted whispers]
Don't look behind you.
Don't turn around.
Don't breathe.
It hears you.
Don't say your name.
It knows it.
Don't close your eyes.
**IT'S ALREADY INSIDE.**
[BRIDGE — slow, crushing]
I broke the lock.
I broke the chain.
I broke the little voice
That told me not to play.
I broke the mirror.
I broke the light.
I broke whatever kept
The thing outside tonight.
[Silence]
I broke it…
[Whisper]
…but you opened it.
[FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE, CHAOTIC]
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?!**
**CAN YOU FIX WHAT'S LEFT OF ME?!**
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?!**
**WHY WON'T YOU LET ME LEAVE?!**
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?!**
**I CAN'T FEEL MY FUCKING SKIN!**
**I BROKE IT — CAN YOU FIX IT?!**
[Everything suddenly stops]
[Very quiet whisper]
**No.**
[Long silence]
**You didn't break it.**
**You woke it up.**
[OUTRO — distant childlike whisper]
I broke it…
Can you fix it?
I broke it…
Can you fix me?
…
**Can you fix you?**
