Hallways I can't Escape

Verse 1

Carpet red like a bleeding heart,

Lights flicker, shadows pull me apart.

Every door whispers, "Don’t go through,"

But staying still feels deadly too.

Verse 2

Footsteps echo, steady and slow,

Mask in the dark — I already know.

Bodies fall silent in the rooms I pass,

His hands move quick, his blade like glass.

Pre-Chorus

Every exit turns into another floor,

Every answer just becomes one more door.

Chorus

I’m running through hallways I can’t escape,

Every turn just rewrites the shape.

He’s always there, no matter the room,

Breathing my fear like perfume.

I’m not sure if I’m alive or awake,

Trapped in hallways I can’t escape.

Verse 3

Windows won’t open, clocks run wrong,

I’ve been here for years, or maybe not long.

I hear their last breaths as I sprint away,

He leaves them behind like shadows and clay.

Bridge

Silence breaks — he’s right behind,

I can’t outrun my own mind.

Hotel walls just fold and twist,

Every path leads back to his fist.

Chorus

I’m running through hallways I can’t escape,

Every turn just rewrites the shape.

He’s always there, no matter the room,

Breathing my fear like perfume.

I’m not sure if I’m alive or awake,

Trapped in hallways I can’t escape.

Outro (Spoken, echoing)

I’ve seen him before…

Every night he finds me…

And I don’t know if I’ll ever wake up.
