[Intro – whispered, layered with eerie echo]
Yeah…
They never leave…
I hear ’em in the dark…
404 Leon…
⸻
[Verse 1]
I wake up, cold sweat, heart beatin’ like a war drum
Voices in my head, sayin’ “run” but I’m too numb
Mirror cracked, can’t look into my own eyes
Seein’ monsters in the corners when the light dies
I tried prayin’, but nobody ever answers
I’m surrounded by these phantoms like it’s cancer
Got a blade to my shadow just to feel sane
But these demons call my name like they know my pain
⸻
[Hook – melodic with distortion fx]
Demons always callin’ me, I can’t escape the sound
They follow every step I take, draggin’ me back down
Tryna find the light, but all I see is grey
They tell me I’m cursed, and I might just stay
Demons always callin’ me, voices in my brain
Sayin’ I deserve it all, tellin’ me I’m to blame
Can’t outrun the past, it’s got a hold on me
Now I’m trapped in the dark where I’m meant to be
⸻
[Verse 2 – harder delivery]
Grave dirt on my sneakers, I’ve been walkin’ with the reaper
Dead inside for years, but I make it look cleaner
They see the mask, but they don’t see the decay
I’m the ghost of who I was, just rottin’ away
I don’t sleep, I just drift into black
Where the nightmares bite and they always come back
Voicemails from Hell, yeah they talk like friends
But they only show love when it all just ends
⸻
[Hook – repeat with slight variation]
Demons always callin’ me, whisperin’ my sins
Sayin’ I won’t make it out, never gonna win
Drownin’ in my thoughts, like I’m lost at sea
A prisoner of pain, no one sets me free
Demons always callin’ me, I know ’em by name
They sit at my table and they play their game
Can’t shut ’em out, they got the key
Now I’m just a shadow of who I used to be
⸻
[Outro – ambient echo, fading into static]
You ever feel like…
You ain’t even real anymore?
Just a vessel for the pain…
404… gone…
404Leon
