rats in the walls lyric

can't get outside cuz of the rats in the walls
made up my mind and now i watch it dissolve
they've got so bold don't even bother to hide
wait in the doorways just to drag me inside
been down so long and now it's starting to show
come to a stop and then there's nowhere to go

you know the worlds a seed
and you're a dying breed
yeah the worlds a chain
and often broken in vain

i had to choose but now they all look the same
i can't get off of this unbreakable chain
the power's here to force me back to the fold
i tried to run but overcome by the cold
what chance of meeting with unbearable gloom
i wonder if it's coming out of its room

seems like eternity is slipping away
stuck with tomorrow looking just like today

i've been inside of it
i've been inside a bit
i bit inside of it
i've been inside of it
