Twelve nights ‘fore Christmas, elf on the shelf don’t move
Just sits there smilin’, gold fangs catch the moonlight groove
Family think it’s cute… they don’t know what I do
VANTABLAK in the walls, breathin’ death into the room
Night one, crack the valve just a hair, sweet sleepy air
Momma yawn heavy, daddy think it’s the eggnog flair
Night two, headaches bloom, kids cry “my brain hurt”
I sit still on the shelf, eyes glow, watch ‘em squirm
Night three, hallucinations creep, they see me wave
Night four, grandpa talkin’ to shadows in his grave
Carbon kissin’ lungs soft, pink foam at the lips
Choir in the vents whisper “sleep… sleep… slip”
They blame the furnace, call the man, he find nothin’
I never move an inch, just grin while they start suffocatin’
Elf on the shelf, breath of the dead (shhhh…)
Gas in the vents, dreams turn red
Elf on the shelf, soul in my hand (brrrrrattt…)
Twelve nights of poison, whole house gettin’ damned
Elf on the shelf, fire in the walls (ho ho ho…)
Whispers get louder, hear the devil call
Elf on the shelf, no one left to save
Merry motherfuckin’ Christmas from the grave
Night five, spark a candle in the attic, let it breathe
Night six, flames crawl the insulation like a thief
Night seven, smoke dancin’ with the gas, beautiful mix
They cough blood, see me in the haze doin’ tricks
Daddy swing a bat at shadows, hit his own son
Momma screamin’ Bible verses, lungs already done
Kids claw at the windows, glass too hot to touch
I sit calm on the shelf, watch the family combust
Night eight, walls glow orange, paint bubble and peel
They beg the elf for mercy, I just blink, keep it real
Elf on the shelf, breath of the dead (shhhh…)
Gas in the vents, dreams turn red
Elf on the shelf, soul in my hand (brrrrrattt… fading)
Twelve nights of poison, whole house gettin’ damned
Elf on the shelf, fire in the walls (ho ho ho…)
Whispers get louder, hear the devil call
Elf on the shelf, no one left to save
Merry motherfuckin’ Christmas from the grave
Night nine, grandpa hang himself with Christmas lights
Night ten, momma slit her wrists in the bathroom, quiet
Night eleven, daddy set the kids on the bed, kiss goodnight
Douse ‘em in gasoline, light a match with a smile polite
Night twelve, house roar like a dragon, roof cave in
I finally stand up slow, gold fangs catch the wind
Walk through the flames untouched, scarf over my face
Every soul float behind me, chained to my waist
Step out the front door, snow fallin’ soft and red
Elf on the shelf one last time, turn around and said…
Elf on the shelf… breath of the dead
Gas and the fire took everything you had
Elf on the shelf… souls in my hand
Twelve nights complete, nothin’ left but ash and sand
Elf on the shelf… no one left at all
Even the elf ain’t comin’ back next fall
Merry motherfuckin’ silence… house don’t breathe no more
VANTABLAK keep walkin’… next door
