we let him in
Verse 1
Told ourselves tomorrow
but tomorrow never came
kept the lights on dimmer
so we wouldn't see the flame
Verse 2
Every door we left unlatched
every signal we ignored
built the floor he walked across
polished by the chord we bored
Chorus
We let him in, we let him in
didn't know it was a sin
watched the doorway, drew it wide
and the dark came rolling in
Verse 3
Now the rooms aren't ours to keep
walls remembered what we forgot
somewhere down the hall a child
is asking who's in charge or not
Chorus
We let him in, we let him in
didn't know it was a sin
watched the doorway, drew it wide
and the dark came rolling in
