[Intro – Hook Melody Instrumental+eerie violin]
————
[Verse 1]
Every painting stares too long
Eyes that hum a haunting song
Nailed to walls I didn’t build
Yet they know the blood I’ve spilled
Sleep feels like a ritual
A curse, a trap, habitual
Hands beneath my skin, they shake
Waiting for my mind to break
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Candles flicker with my breath
Footsteps dance where silence slept
Tell me who’s behind the veil—
Or am I what’s left?
⸻
[Chorus]
They whisper in the frame
Every night they chant my name
I try to run, but I’m the flame
And they’re the ones who lit the game
I see myself, but not the same
Eyes are black, my soul’s been claimed
So if I sleep and don’t awake—
They whisper in my place
⸻
[Verse 2]
I heard myself speak backwards slow
A voice I swear I didn’t know
Scratched a circle on the floor
And now they walk straight through the door
Glass is cracked but won’t fall through
Reflections blink when I don’t move
My shadow stands while I sit still
I’m possessed by what I killed
⸻
[Breakdown – Screamed Vocals with Drop]
This isn’t sleep—this is a cage!
The demon wears my face on stage!
Twist the flesh, erase my name,
Let me rot inside the frame!
[Drums slam with dissonant chugs and glitching echo FX]
Don’t look now—don’t turn around!
You’ll hear the truth without the sound!
⸻
[Bridge – Clean + Screamed Harmony]
And if you paint me in your mind…
(You bring my ghost to life in time)
So don’t describe me, don’t believe…
(Or you’ll wake up wearing me)
⸻
[Final Chorus – Choir, Hook Melody, Distorted Layers]
They whisper in the frame
Every night they chant my name
I try to run, but I’m the flame
And they’re the ones who lit the game
I see myself, but not the same
Eyes are black, my soul’s been claimed
So if I sleep and don’t awake—
They whisper in my place
⸻
[Outro – Spoken Whisper + Melody Return]
[Female whisper]
“Say your name backward… that’s how it begins.”
[Male whisper]
“I’m still in the frame… and now so are you.”
[Fades out with the original music box melody, warped and slowing like a vinyl dying out]
