Verse 1 (Voice A)
Lights dim, lights off, so dark
Can you see it? Can you feel my heart?
Air is thick, breath is loud
Shadows move when I’m not around
Where is the light? Who’s there?
I’m right here, don’t come near
I can’t see you, can’t see me
Just the dark staring back at me
Pre-Chorus (Voice A)
Was that a sound or my name?
Every echo sounds the same
Walls lean in, floor gives way
Something’s breathing in the grey
⸻
Chorus (Call & Response)
Voice A (panicked):
Lights off, so dark
Who’s there? I’m here
Voice B (low, calm):
I see you.
I’m closer than you think.
Voice A:
Don’t come closer
Don’t come closer
Voice B:
I’ve been waiting.
Voice A:
Lights off, no spark
Who’s there? I’m here
Voice B:
You called me.
You always do.
⸻
Verse 2 (Voice A)
Cold crawls up my spine real slow
Hands shake but I don’t let go
I could run, I could fight
But the dark knows where I hide
What was that behind my back?
Every step feels like a trap
I feel split, I feel thin
Like something’s learning how to live in my skin
Pre-Chorus (Voice A, breaking)
Touch on my shoulder—was that real?
Say it’s fear, say it’s not real
But fear doesn’t say my name
Fear doesn’t smile in the same old way
⸻
Chorus (Second Time – More Aggressive)
Voice A:
Lights off, so dark
Who’s there? I’m here
Voice B (closer, sharper):
I hear you shaking.
Voice A:
Don’t come closer
Don’t come closer
Voice B:
You’re already open.
Voice A:
Lights off, no spark
Who’s there? I’m here
Voice B:
Look at me.
Say it.
⸻
Bridge (Both Voices Overlapping)
Voice A: If I scream, will I disappear?
Voice B: If you scream, I get clearer.
Voice A: If I fight, will you leave?
Voice B: If you fight, you bleed.
Voice A: Get out of my head!
Voice B: This is where I live.
(beat drops—silence)
⸻
FINAL SECTION – RAGE SHIFT
Final Chorus (Voice A – screamed/snarled)
Lights off!
So dark!
Who’s there?! I’M HERE!!
You don’t own me
You don’t wear my face
You don’t get to crawl inside my name
Voice B (mocking, steady):
Too late.
Voice A (full rage):
NO—
I built this cage
I break these walls
I’d rather burn than let you crawl
You hear me?!
GET OUT
GET OUT
GET—
⸻
Outro (Raw, Unhinged)
(only Voice A, breathless)
I’m here.
I’m still here.
…say something.
(silence)
(then, whispered from inside Voice A’s mouth)
Voice B:
I am.
Lights off.
So dark.
⸻
If you want next, I can:
• Make Voice B more seductive or more monstrous
• Add rhythm cues / production notes
• Write a music video concept
• Or push it into a full narrative album track
This one hits.
