**\[Verse 1]**
*(Low, prowling tone)*
Footsteps in the dark — can you hear the count? (One… two…)
Every beat you breathe, I’m the shadow you can’t drown
Silver in my voice, poison in my grin
Every road you take just pulls me in
*(Faster)*
Your pulse is a drum and I’m keeping time
You run for the light but the dark’s all mine
Breathing down your neck, claws just out of sight
The hunter doesn’t sleep in the heat of night
---
**\[Pre-Chorus]** *(Main vocal + whisper echo)*
I’m the echo in your veins *(echo: “in your veins”)*
The whisper in your skin *(echo: “under your skin”)*
You’ll open up the door *(echo: “let me in”)*
You’ll let the monster in…
---
**\[Chorus]** *(Full energy, layered harmonies)*
I’m your shadow daddy, calling from the black *(echo: “from the black”)*
Every step you take, I’m right on your track *(echo: “on your track”)*
In the corner of your room, in the mirror’s crack *(mirror’s crack)*
Say my name, baby, I won’t hold back *(hold back)*
I’m your shadow… your shadow daddy
---
**\[Verse 2]** *(Velvety menace)*
Velvet chains around you — not a single scar
You crave the danger, so I’m never far
I’ll teach you how to burn without the smoke or flame
One taste of sin and you’ll forget your name
*(Faster)*
Your heartbeat stutters when my fingers trace
Every inch of you’s my favorite place
The dark is a kingdom, and you wear my crown
One kiss and your whole world’s upside down
---
**\[Pre-Chorus]** *(Stacked vocals, breathy whispers underneath)*
I’m the hunger in your blood *(“in your blood”)*
The pull you can’t define *(“can’t define”)*
Your darkness tangled deep… with mine
---
**\[Chorus]** *(Heavier percussion, bass drop)*
I’m your shadow daddy, calling from the black *(echo: “from the black”)*
Every step you take, I’m right on your track *(echo: “on your track”)*
In the corner of your room, in the mirror’s crack *(mirror’s crack)*
Say my name, baby, I won’t hold back *(hold back)*
I’m your shadow… your shadow daddy
---
**\[Breakdown – Fast & Sharp]** *(Chanted with crowd-style backing)*
(Go low, go slow, breathe in, let go)
You want it? (Yeah!)
You feel it? (Yeah!)
One more step and you’re mine tonight!
---
**\[Bridge]** *(Darker, more theatrical)*
Every secret that you hide, I’ve already seen *(already seen)*
Every nightmare you survive, I’m in between *(I’m in between)*
No heaven, no hell — just the void I keep
Where the wicked learn to love and the angels weep
(Whisper)
You’re not afraid… just addicted to me
[Final Chorus – Big & Layered]
I’m your shadow daddy, calling from the black (from the black)
Every step you take, I’m right on your track (on your track)
In the corner of your room, in the mirror’s crack (mirror’s crack)
Say my name, baby, I won’t hold back (hold back)
I’m your shadow… your shadow daddy
[Outro – Fade into whispers]
(Main) You’re mine…
(Whispers overlapping) Shadow… shadow… shadow… daddy…
(Final hit) Mine.
