They never left

(Verse 1 – Whispered, slow)

Cold breath on my neck...

But I’m the only one here.

A child's laugh in the attic—

It drips like blood in my ear.

The lights don’t flicker anymore...

They just die.

(Verse 2 – Soft, eerie)

Chairs scrape across the floor,

But I never heard a step.

Something’s humming in the hallway—

A song the dead have kept.

A lullaby from lips sewn shut...

And it’s getting louder.

(Chorus – Cinematic, rising tension)

They never left.

They watch from the cracks.

In the mirror’s breath,

Their faces look back.

I locked every door,

But still they crawl—

Inside the walls,

Inside my soul...

(Verse 3 – Desperate, frantic tone)

Clock ticks backwards,

I lose my name.

Whispers chant it—

Like a curse, like a flame.

“Let us in,” they say,

“You already did.”

Now I sleep with open eyes,

And dreams that scream.

(Chorus – Intensified)

They never left.

They cling to the air.

Every prayer I speak

Just feeds the despair.

The candles melt

Into shapes that cry—

The shadows grin,

And I don’t know why...

(Bridge – Whispered chant, layered vocals)

Count the dead,

Don’t lose track.

One went missing—

She won’t come back.

Dig the grave,

But not too deep.

They rise again

When silence sleeps.

(Final Chorus – Echoed, haunting)

They never left.

They're part of me now.

In every breath,

I made the vow.

To stay, to serve,

To never flee...

This house is theirs—

And now, so is me.
