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.
