Alone In The Dark House

[Intro]
[high violin shriek
Hanging long]
Light flickers once
Curtain breathes
Key in the bowl
Something… leaves
[Verse 1]
Clock clicks too loud
Floorboard sighs
Fridge hums a word
I swear it lies
Shadow on the wall
But I don’t move
Every tiny creak
Knows I’m here too
[Chorus]
I am alone in the dark house (are you there?)
Every small sound feels like hands in my hair
When the lights die
All the walls lean in
If I don’t breathe
Will it still get in?
I am alone in the dark house (don’t you dare)
Silence so thick I can taste the fear
Power cut
And the whole world thins
If I don’t scream
Will it crawl under my skin?
[Verse 2]
Phone screen dead
Cold glass pane
Window latch lifts
Soft as my name
Footsteps upstairs
No one home
My own reflection
Won’t pick up the phone
[Bridge]
[everything drops to a low hum]
Whisper in the hallway
But my mouth stayed shut
Something at the doorway
Dragging through the dust
Light switch clicks
Still nothing there
I feel its fingers
Counting every hair
[Chorus]
I am alone in the dark house (are you there?)
Every small sound feels like hands in my hair
When the lights die
All the walls lean in
If I don’t breathe
Will it still get in?
I am alone in the dark house (don’t you dare)
Silence so thick I can taste the fear
Power cut
And the whole world spins
If I close my eyes
Does the horror begin?
[Outro]
[violin climbs to a thin
Breaking note]
Door hinge groans
Right by my ear
Someone says “run”
But I freeze here (oh…)

folk, Cinematic horror cue with eerie solo violin harmonics opening in extreme high register, then creeping low strings and distant piano clusters; ghostly female vocals float in reverb-heavy layers, whispery and breathy at first, swelling into piercing wails on the chorus. Tension builds through subtle heartbeat percussion and low rumble, then drops to near-silence on the bridge before a final, dissonant vocal climax. Female vocals., vocal, violin
