Verse 1 Footsteps breathing down the hallway of my mind Streetlight flickers, swear I saw your outline Windows whisper every secret that I keep Every mirror’s got a stranger staring back at me Got a chill in my spine, got static in my head Every shadow moving like it wants me dead I lock the doors but I leave the lights low ‘Cause I feel you more when I’m alone Pre-Chorus You don’t speak, you don’t blink You don’t need a face You’re the echo in the corners Of every empty place Chorus You’re in my peripheral Living in the afterglow Dark silhouette in the rearview mirror Everywhere I go You’re in my peripheral Breathing down my soul Cold hands crawling up my spine Yeah, I feel you close I don’t see you straight on But I know you’re there You’re the weight on my chest You’re the static in the air Verse 2 You move like smoke through the cracks in the wall Got your fingerprints on every late-night call Heartbeat racing, but I don’t make a sound You don’t hunt loud — you just hang around Every sidewalk feels like borrowed ground Every empty room’s a battleground You don’t chase, you don’t run You just wait till I’m undone Pre-Chorus You don’t knock, you don’t plead You just slip inside Like a ghost wearing my fears With my eyes Chorus You’re in my peripheral Living in the afterglow Dark silhouette in the rearview mirror Everywhere I go You’re in my peripheral Breathing down my soul Cold hands crawling up my spine Yeah, I feel you close I don’t see you straight on But I know you’re there You’re the weight on my chest You’re the static in the air Bridge (Breakdown) I turn around — you fade to black I hit the floor — you’re on my back I scream your name — you never answer You’re my fear in a human-shaped shadow Tick-tock in my veins You feed on doubt, you drink my pain You don’t bleed, you don’t break You just wait… You just wait. Build You’re the blur in the hallway The crack in the glass The second heartbeat I never asked You’re the whisper behind me The lie I believe You don’t need eyes To watch me breathe Final Chorus You’re in my peripheral Burning in the afterglow Dark silhouette in the rearview mirror Everywhere I go You’re in my peripheral Carved into my bones Cold hands crawling up my spine Yeah, I’m never alone I don’t see you straight on But I know you’re there You’re the weight on my chest You’re the static in the air Outro So I keep moving, I don’t slow down Try to outrun what’s already found me now You don’t follow footprints You follow fear Yeah… You’re always here.
