## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

**[Verse 1]**

Hell raising, hair raising

I'm ready for the worst

So frightening, face whitening

Fear that you can't reverse

**[Pre-Chorus]**

My phone has no signal

It's making my skin crawl

The silence is so loud

The lights spark and flicker

With monsters much bigger

Than I can control now

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to the panic room

Where all your darkest fears are gonna

Come for you, come for you

Welcome to the panic room

You'll know I wasn't joking

When you see them too, see them too

**[Post-Chorus]**

Welcome to the panic room

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

**[Verse 2]**

Still waiting, hands shaking

Maybe the coast will clear

But these voices, these strange noises

They followed me in here

**[Pre-Chorus]**

My phone has no signal

It's making my skin crawl

The silence is so loud

The lights spark and flicker

With monsters much bigger

Than I can control now

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to the panic room

Where all your darkest fears are gonna

Come for you, come for you

Welcome to the panic room

You'll know I wasn't joking

When you see them too, see them too

**[Post-Chorus]**

Welcome to the panic room

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

**[Bridge]**

There's no cryin' wolves now

'Cause the truth has settled in

Hiding under goose down

For your nightmare to begin

There's no crying wolves now

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

'Cause the truth has settled in

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

Hiding under goose down

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

For your nightmare to begin

Welcome to the—, welcome to the—

**[Chorus]**

Welcome to the panic room

Where all your darkest fears are gonna

Come for you, come for you

Welcome to the panic room

You'll know I wasn't joking

When you see them too, see them too

**[Outro]**

Hell raising, hair raising

I'm ready for the worst
