[Intro: Female Vocals – low, distant] They said the city healed, said the fear ran dry, But scars don’t fade just ’cause time walks by. One quiet night… one subtle sign, And the silence cracked right down the spine. [Verse 1: Male Vocals] One body found, no forced entry, No panic scream, just calm and empty. No mural, no excess display, Just a single cut… the Karl way. No rush, no rage, no messy art, Just a perfect end, torn apart. Clean as breath on winter glass, Like he’d never stopped—just passed. [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocals] Not louder… just closer now, A sharpened edge, a quieter vow. When monsters wait, they learn control, And patience makes the deepest hole. [Chorus: Male Vocals] He never left—he learned to hide, Let the world relax, let time slide. One clean kill, no wasted sound, Just to prove he’s still around. He never left—just stepped aside, Watched Dan rot from the inside. No warning bell, no final breath, Just a whisper saying: Not dead yet. [Verse 2: Male Vocals] Dan reads the scene with shaking hands, Knows the spacing, knows the plans. No copycat, no random flaw, This is the silence he’s seen before. Karl trimmed the ritual, shaved it clean, Left no comfort in the in-between. This wasn’t hunger, wasn’t need— Just a reminder carved in meat. [Pre-Chorus: Female Vocals] No signatures, no ego trace, Just discipline sharpened by space. The deadliest proof is what’s not shown, A truth that cuts straight to the bone. [Chorus: Male Vocals] He never left—he learned to hide, Let the world relax, let time slide. One clean kill, no wasted sound, Just to prove he’s still around. He never left—just stepped aside, Watched Dan rot from the inside. No warning bell, no final breath, Just a whisper saying: Not dead yet. [Bridge: Female Vocals – restrained, chilling] Some killers burn, some killers fade, Some learn the value of a blade sheathed. Fear grows sharp when it forgets, And Karl remembered what comes next. [Outro: Male Vocals – calm, almost gentle] No toast tonight, no glass in hand, Just a quiet cut, exactly planned. Dan knows now—too clear, too late— This wasn’t a slip… it was a wait. [Final Line: Whispered Male Vocals] “I told you… I wasn’t gone.”

He Never Left
