[Intro]
The hallway holds its breath
Dust hangs above the floor
I count the doors I passed
Then hear one more
[Verse 1]
My flashlight paints the peeling walls
A thin white wound across the dark
The batteries cough, the ceiling drips
Something answers from the park
I keep one hand around the knife
One hand pressed against my mouth
A little click behind the pipes
Then three more from the south
[Pre-Chorus]
No radio
No footsteps mine
Just teeth of sound
Between the lines
[Chorus]
They’re coming for me
I hear them through the plaster
They’re coming for me
Closer, faster, faster
I’m alone in a house with no name
And the dark knows exactly where I am
They’re coming for me
Don’t let me breathe again
[Verse 2]
The kitchen door is hanging wide
The table’s split beneath the mold
A child’s red shoe beside the sink
Still waiting in the cold
I back away from every room
The floorboards buckle like a spine
A wet burst rattles down the hall
And something scrapes the blinds
[Pre-Chorus]
No warning cry
No human call
Just that dry burst
Against the wall
[Chorus]
They’re coming for me
I hear them through the plaster
They’re coming for me
Closer, faster, faster
I’m alone in a house with no name
And the dark knows exactly where I am
They’re coming for me
Don’t let me breathe again
[Bridge]
The flashlight dies
The silence blooms
My heartbeat fills
The empty rooms
I hear them stop
I hear them turn
I hear the little signal
And the whole house starts to burn
[Breakdown]
Don’t move
Don’t cough
Don’t pray
Don’t look
One click
Two clicks
Right outside
One click
Two clicks
Something’s inside
[Final Chorus]
They found me
Through the plaster
They found me
No more faster
I’m alone in a house with no name
And the dark has learned the shape I am
They found me
Don’t let me breathe again
[Outro]
The flashlight rolls beneath the bed
A pale shape folds across the door
The clicking stops beside my head
And I am not alone anymore
