A soft night, unassuming stars
A quiet house and a half-lit yard
Talk in circles, cute then cruel
Blood gets spilled for breaking rules
Says it’s only a game to play
But the windows breathe when she looks away
Every lock is a laugh, every room turns thin
The safe little world lets the killer in
Don’t trust them just because they’re bleeding
Don’t miss the second knife
The call goes dead, the script goes red
When the rules decide who dies
Don’t play their game, don’t miss the signs
One mask talks while another hides
Run through the house, run for your life
There’s always another hand on the knife
One makes the call, one kills the light
Two shadows move in a single disguise
Scream if you must, but to stay alive
Learn the rules of the knife
The school bell rings like a warning shot
Everybody knows what everybody’s not
The grief gets sold, the cameras feed
As the rules take root in a town that bleeds
Beer cans shine in a party tomb
The rules play out in the living room
The screen is late, the van is blind
The killer strikes from behind
Don’t trust them just because they’re bleeding
Don’t miss the second knife
The call goes dead, the script goes red
When the rules decide who dies
Don’t play their game, don’t miss the signs
One mask talks while another hides
Run through the house, run for your life
There’s always another hand on the knife
One makes the call, one kills the light
Two shadows move in a single disguise
Scream if you must, but to stay alive
Learn the rules of the knife
(Rule one)
Sex equals death, breathe your last breath
(Rule two)
Drinks and drugs, end in a puddle of blood
(Rule three)
Say "I’ll be right back", and your skull gets cracked
Learn the rules of the knife, or lose your life!
Don’t play game, don’t miss the signs
One mask talks while another hides
Run through the house, run for your life
There’s always another hand on the knife
One makes the call, one kills the light
Two shadows move in a single disguise
Scream if you must, but to stay alive
Learn the rules of the knife
