[Intro]
Creeping shadows, whispers in the night
Behind closed doors, there's a brewing fright
Footsteps echo, heartbeats roar
Who can you trust? Fear thy neighbor next door.
[Verse 1]
Curtain twitching, a flicker of light
A silhouette lurking, prowls out of sight
Misunderstanding, a tangled lore
Hope is fading, fear is what we adore.
[Pre-Chorus]
We built these walls to hide away
But secrets linger where children play
Behind the smiles, a chilling core,
Innocence fades, it's a total war.
[Chorus]
Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,
Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score
In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,
Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.
[Verse 2]
Kids in the playground, unaware of the strife,
While whispers convene under the cover of life
Glimpses of kindness, a sly little trick,
The dagger’s edged, it’s ready to stick.
[Pre-Chorus]
We smile in the day, but darkness will creep,
Old fears awaken, nothing's as it seems
Behind the gates, watchful eyes explore,
Searching for secrets while we all ignore.
[Chorus]
Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,
Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score
In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,
Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.
[Bridge]
Whispers turn to shouting, the line is now crossed,
Trust has been shattered, all hope seems lost
In this twilight zone, we must decide,
To stand up and fight or to run and hide.
[Chorus]
Fear thy neighbor, monster next door,
Pretending to be friendly while they plot and they score
In the heart of the night, shadows draw near,
Lock your windows tight, for the end is here.
[Outro]
Behind the laughter, darkness looms tall,
Fear thy neighbor, it echoes in the hall
As the sun sinks low, they gather at the door,
With smiles so sweet, they’re monsters in lore.
