[Intro – Radio static, warped carnival music, distant child voice:]
“If you blink… you’ll miss it.”
…Miss what?
Yourself.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, soft and uncomfortably close]
I woke up with stitches across my tongue
A lullaby carved where the silence clung
The mirror smiled when I looked away
And whispered back the things I’d never say
My shadow crawls on hands and knees
It speaks in static and rosaries
The lights flicker with every breath
And I think I made a deal with death
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Spoken whisper over ambient hum]
Close your eyes… if you want it to stop.
But don’t you dare blink.
⸻
[Chorus – Clean/screamed fusion, theatrical and sharp]
Don’t blink—you might see it move
In the dark between the truths
A shape behind your shallow breath
Smiling wide like second death
You think you’re safe, you think you know
But I’m the thing you let in slow
Say your name and watch it sink
This is your curse now—don’t blink.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Half-spoken/rap cadence, glitchy stutters]
I trace my skin like scripture torn
In blood that’s not quite mine anymore
I laughed at God then bit my tongue
Now I speak in dreams and crawl among
The cracks between your daily thoughts
The rot beneath your holy cross
I’m the glitch inside your sleep
The twitch behind what shouldn’t breathe
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Female whisper vocal overlapping male]
Blink once… I feed.
Blink twice… you bleed.
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat, more layered screams, children chanting in background]
Don’t blink—you might see it move
In the dark between the truths
A shape behind your shallow breath
Smiling wide like second death
You think you’re safe, you think you know
But I’m the thing you let in slow
Say your name and watch it sink
This is your curse now—don’t blink.
⸻
[Breakdown – Sudden silence, then savage drop, distortion explodes]
DON’T MOVE—IT SEES YOU NOW!
CARVED YOUR NAME ON YOUR OWN BROW!
YOU PRAYED TO FEEL—NOW FEEL THE SICK!
YOU FED THE THING THAT MAKES YOU TWITCH!
(DID YOU THINK THE DARK WOULDN’T FIGHT?)
NOW YOU’RE BLIND—AND THAT’S MY RIGHT!
⸻
[Bridge – Slowed tempo, whisper over heartbeat and fading music box]
I see you there behind your eyes…
You’re scratching to get out.
But you let me in…
Now you don’t matter.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Dragged, unsettling pacing, layered whispers and screams]
Don’t blink—I’m in your grin
In the breath you’re holding in
Don’t close your eyes—I’ll grow too near
I am the voice that rides your fear
You think you’re fine—but listen well:
That’s not your breath… it’s mine you felt
You blinked once, now I don’t sink—
I rise. I own.
Don’t blink.
⸻
[Outro – One long distorted exhale. Then dead silence. Then a whisper behind you:]
“I’m still watching.”
