[Verse 1]
Hello, I see all of your mistakes
The mask you hide behind
A smile hiding all the breaks
Barely moving, tangled in binds
Darkness feels like a friend to you
I see those demons haunting
You don’t know what else to do
So you just sit there, hoping
⸻
[Chorus – Haunting / Demon Voice]
(whispered, almost in rhythm)
Hope is a lie…
Let it slip through your hands…
No one can save you,
No one understands…
(sung, eerie harmonies)
Fall into the black,
Don’t you fight, don’t you pray…
You belong in the silence,
Let the light fade away…
⸻
[Verse 2]
The glass cuts deeper when you see your face
Reflection’s just a cruel embrace
Every flaw screaming, you can’t escape
And you’re breaking, breaking, under the weight
Every night, you hide the pieces
Afraid of what they’ll show
But the mirror doesn’t lie
And the cracks still grow
⸻
[Chorus – Haunting / Demon Voice]
(whispered)
Hope is a lie…
Let it slip through your hands…
No one can save you,
No one understands…
(sung, eerie harmonies)
Fall into the black,
Don’t you fight, don’t you pray…
You belong in the silence,
Let the light fade away…
⸻
[Bridge] (instrumental build, with layered whispers in the background)
I see you drowning in your own reflection
Silent screams, no one to mention
If I could pull you from that glass
I’d tear the pain away, make it the past
But you’ve built a prison in your skin
And you won’t let anybody in
⸻
[Chorus – Final, Overlapping Whisper & Vocal]
(whispers overlapping the sung part)
Hope is a lie… you’re better off here…
Fall deeper… deeper… there’s nothing to fear…
(sung)
Fall into the black,
Don’t you fight, don’t you pray…
You belong in the silence,
Let the light fade away…
⸻
[Outro – Fading to a Single Whisper]
Hello… I see all of your mistakes…
(whisper) Stay here with me… forever…
