[Intro – Instrumental Melody (Haunted & Hooky)]
———-
[Verse 1]
There’s a crack in the mirror that mimics my smile
And it speaks in tongues when I stay awhile
I dream in static, I breathe in screams
Reality’s stitched at the brittle seams
I found a journal I never wrote
Ink in blood, each word a ghost
The shadows know what I can’t say
They follow close, they guide the blade
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I the hunter or the prey?
A marionette that slipped away
I close my eyes, but still I see—
The eyes that watch me bleed
⸻
[Chorus]
They’re watching me bleed in the dark
Scratching their names on my heart
Pulling my strings when I fall asleep
I’m wide awake in a wicked dream
They echo my voice when I scream
Like lullabies built to deceive
And every time I try to leave—
The eyes still watch me bleed
⸻
[Verse 2]
There’s a face in the fog that wears my skin
Laughs when I lose and grins when I win
It drags me back to the basement door
Where the walls remember what came before
No salvation in rosaries
I stitch my faith with razor teeth
Nailed to guilt, I try to pray
But the silence begs me to stay
⸻
[Breakdown – Screamed Vocals + Instrumental Drop]
Cut the lights—let the devils in!
I made my bed inside this sin!
Bleed me dry then make me whole,
Etch your name into my soul!
[Breakbeat kicks in – heavy chugs + offbeat drops]
Choke the light! Unveil the beast!
I am the feast, I am deceased!
⸻
[Bridge – Whispers into Melody + Screams]
[Whispered female voice]
“You were never the only one.”
[Male clean vocals]
I saw you in the cracks of time…
[Growled scream]
Now you’re stitched into the rhyme!
⸻
[Final Chorus – Choir + Harmonies + Melody Returns]
They’re watching me bleed in the dark
Scratching their names on my heart
Pulling my strings when I fall asleep
I’m wide awake in a wicked dream
They echo my voice when I scream
Like lullabies built to deceive
And every time I try to leave—
The eyes still watch me bleed
⸻
[Outro – Melodic Fade + One Final Stab]
So don’t you follow… don’t you follow me home…
[Sudden sharp scream:]
“YOU WERE NEVER ALONE.”
[Fade out with the piano melody and creaking floorboards]
