Listen

(Verse 1) The walls breathe slow when I turn out the light, They whisper my name like it owes them a life. The floorboards remember the weight of my fear, Every step I take says, you shouldn’t be here.

My pulse isn’t mine, it belongs to the room, Ticks like a clock counting down to my doom. I talk to myself but something talks back, It laughs when I swear I’m still on the right track.

(Chorus) Listen. Can you hear it crawl inside your head? Every thought you buried never really died. Listen. It’s the sound of what you should’ve said, Now it’s screaming truths you can’t deny. No mercy in the tone, no comfort in the sound. So listen… it knows you now.

(Verse 2) My reflection blinks when I don’t, Moves its mouth like it’s choking on jokes. It tells me I’m weak, it tells me I’m late, Says the door’s been locked from the inside of my brain.

The ceiling caves in but nothing falls, Just pressure and breath and invisible claws. I count all my sins like cracks in the glass, Each one gets louder the longer they last.

(Chorus) Listen. Can you hear it crawl inside your head? Every thought you buried never really died. Listen. It’s the sound of what you should’ve said, Now it’s screaming truths you can’t deny. No mercy in the tone, no comfort in the sound. So listen… it knows you now.

(Bridge) No music. No prayer. Just the hum of the wires in the air. If you think you’re alone, you’re already wrong, It’s been counting your breaths all along.

(Guitar solo)

(Final Chorus) Listen. When the silence starts to speak, When your name sounds wrong inside your teeth. Listen. There’s a reason you can’t sleep, Something learned you were easy to keep. Shut your eyes, let the truth surround. You never lost it. It found you. So listen.
