[Intro – Breathing like a creature mimicking a human, slow heartbeat, child whisper:]
“Let it in… let it win… you were never strong enough alone.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, trembling and deranged]
There was something scratching at the door
I told it no…
But I wanted more
It sang my name through rotting teeth
It offered silence underneath
A deal in blood, a smile too wide
I let it rest right here, inside
Now my thoughts come wrapped in screams
And my dreams are their dreams
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Whisper-sung, overlapping distorted voices]
I knew it was wrong when I felt it breathe…
But I needed something worse than me…
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed lead, clean vocals echo like a chant]
I let it in—into my veins
Now it laughs inside my pain
I carved its name across my chest
And let it in like I was blessed
This isn’t faith—it’s a rot that spreads
I kissed the curse and shook the dead
You call it sin, but I begin
The moment I—
LET. IT. IN.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Whisper-rap with glitchy pitch shifts, chaotic backing sounds]
It walks when I’m still
It smiles when I kill
It drinks what I bleed
And calls it free will
It speaks in tongues I never knew
But somehow now they all come through
I’m just the flesh, the borrowed bone
The throne it needed to come home
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Child’s voice overlapping, then layered with screams]
It hurts less now that I’ve let go…
You’ll understand soon. You’ll know.
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with more distortion and dissonance]
I let it in—into my veins
Now it laughs inside my pain
I carved its name across my chest
And let it in like I was blessed
This isn’t faith—it’s a rot that spreads
I kissed the curse and shook the dead
You call it sin, but I begin
The moment I—
LET. IT. IN.
⸻
[Breakdown – Sudden silence, then catastrophic drop: chaotic drums, monstrous screams]
(OPEN THE DOOR—LET THE VERMIN SPEAK!)
RIP OUT YOUR FAITH, YOU WERE BUILT TO BE WEAK!
THERE’S NO PRAYER—ONLY ME!
NO SALVATION—ONLY TEETH!
YOU CALLED IT DARKNESS… I CALL IT SKIN!
NOW BLEED THE LIGHT—
I LET IT IN.
⸻
[Bridge – Clean, haunting vocals with reversed whispers, heavy delay]
I hear it humming lullabies…
Through the cracks behind my eyes…
I never wanted to be saved.
I just wanted… to be brave.
And brave means letting go.
Brave means letting… something grow.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Half-time, anthemic, all vocal layers clashing]
I let it in—now I don’t resist
I gave it every scar I kissed
It wears my voice, it chews my name
It owns my joy, it feeds my shame
I am the altar—I am the gate
The willing host you love to hate
This isn’t death—it’s where I win
I wasn’t taken—
I let it in.
⸻
[Outro – Silence. Then a gurgled, unearthly voice:]
“Now let me in too.”
