[Verse 1]
[low vocal register, male]
Dust on the frames
Names carved halfway in the door
Your hand on mine
Heartbeat counting creaking floor
[female alto]
Footprints in ash
Candles shiver, bend and bow
You blink and breathe
Something’s different in you now
[Pre-Chorus]
[female soprano]
You were speaking in a stranger’s tone
(male tenor)
Now that shadow finally let me go
[female + male, tight harmony]
But the walls still lean in close
Like they know we’re almost gone
[Chorus]
[mixed group, big harmony]
Out of this house
We’re breaking every hallway spell
Run through the doubt
Every locked door starts to melt
If the stairs keep twisting, we’ll still carry on
’Cause the ghost is gone
Now we just need
Out of this house
[Verse 2]
[male tenor]
Portrait eyes track
Every step we try to hide
Boards breathe back
Like they’re laughing at our stride
[female alto]
Mirror on the landing
Shows us older, tired, alone
[female soprano]
But in the glass behind us
Every haunt is overthrown
[Pre-Chorus]
[male bass, close mic]
I remember when my lungs weren’t mine
Chains in my throat every single line
[female + male, layered]
Now your voice is clear and raw
And this place can feel the flaw
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[call-and-response, staggered entries]
[female]
Count the doors—one, two, three
[male]
Every hinge is daring me
[female]
Push again, don’t you freeze
[male]
I am not your memory
[whispered vocals, group]
Left wing
Right wing
Secret stair behind the swing
[full band, crescendo]
[male + female unison]
If the house can hear us say it
It can feel its power fade
We are more than what betrayed us
We’re the ones who walk away
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[soft, a cappella quartet]
Out of this house
Breathing in the honest air
Hand in hand now
Leaving what once held us there
[female soprano, single line]
You’re free, we’re free
And the door stays open wide
