[Intro – Haunting Instrumental Build+haunting music box and strings]
—————-
[Verse 1]
Saw my face in the dark last night
But it didn’t blink and it didn’t cry
Just stared through me with a crooked grin
Like it knew exactly where I’ve been
There’s a shadow stitched to my spine
Moves first every single time
Talks like me but lies much better
Wears my skin like it’s made of leather
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Who am I when I fall asleep?
Something else crawls up from deep
You see my smile — I see its fangs
We’re not the same
⸻
[Chorus]
Behind my eyes, there’s something cold
Took my name, took control
I try to run but I just fold
Into a version I don’t know
It wears my laugh, it speaks in screams
Replaces air with broken dreams
And if you hear me cry at night—
That’s not me
Behind my eyes
⸻
[Verse 2]
Drew a door inside the floor
Stepped through silence into war
Voices echo down the hall
But every one of them is mine… distorted, small
I’m not lost — I’ve been replaced
By the thing I tried to face
I can’t tell if this is real
Or just the nightmare that I steal
⸻
[Breakdown – Screamed Vocals + Heavy Drop]
I’M NOT THE BODY — I’M THE VOID!
YOU CAN’T ESCAPE WHAT YOU EMPLOYED!
CARVE MY NAME IN SHATTERED GLASS!
I’LL LIVE FOREVER IN YOUR PAST!
[break — pure instrumental slam with screams echoing in reverse]
⸻
[Bridge – Melody + Screams Layered]
Lock the doors—don’t speak his name
(He’s crawling up inside your brain)
If I forget, don’t bring me back
(He left his trail — it’s painted black)
⸻
[Final Chorus – With Choir Harmonies and Lead Melody Return]
Behind my eyes, there’s something cold
Took my name, took control
I try to run but I just fold
Into a version I don’t know
It wears my laugh, it speaks in screams
Replaces air with broken dreams
And if you hear me cry at night—
That’s not me…
Behind my eyes
⸻
[Outro – Whispers and Fading Melody]
(Whispered looped line)
“You blinked first… now I’m alive.”
[Music box version of the intro melody plays slower and slower]
[Last sound: a breath… then silence]
