**\[Verse 1]**
(Spoken low, almost a growl)
Heard my name in the cracks of the floor
Whispers run cold through a locked black door
Your heartbeat stumbles, your breath runs thin
(I’m the one they fear… let me in)
**\[Verse 2]**
Every step’s got a shadow to match
Every lock’s got a key I snatch
Your pulse is a drum in a hollowed room
(I’m the quiet, I’m the boom)
**\[Pre-Chorus]**
Footsteps fall like a metronome
Every little fear feels like home
The dark’s not empty — it’s breathing in time
(With yours… with mine…)
**\[Chorus]**
Call me when your courage breaks
(I’ll come, I’ll come)
Hold you where the daylight aches
(so numb, so numb)
Every vow you swore will burn like gin
Once you let the night crawl in
(crawl in, crawl in, crawl in)
**\[Verse 3]**
Your shadow bends ‘til it bows to me
Every locked thought — I hold the key
I’m the hum in your bones you can’t unhear
(Louder, closer, always near)
**\[Verse 4]**
Silk in the snare, silver in the bite
I’m the mirror that kills your light
I’m the taste of the sin you hide
(I’m the one on your side)
**\[Pre-Chorus]**
The glass might break, but the silence stays
Every little truth has a darker face
The dark’s not empty — it’s wearing my grin
(And yours… again…)
**\[Chorus]**
Call me when your courage breaks
(I’ll come, I’ll come)
Hold you where the daylight aches
(so numb, so numb)
Every vow you swore will burn like gin
Once you let the night crawl in
(crawl in, crawl in, crawl in)
**\[Bridge]**
(Whispered, overlapping)
Say my name in the dark, I’ll know
Say my name in the dark, don’t go
Every soul has a price in the end
Every door has a lock I bend
(Bend… bend… bend…)
**\[Breakdown – Rhythmic]**
Step — stop — step — stop
(Breath in, breath out, can’t stop)
Step — stop — step — stop
(Heart’s mine, heart’s mine, can’t stop)
**\[Chorus – Final]**
Call me when your courage breaks
(I’ll come, I’ll come)
Hold you where the daylight aches
(so numb, so numb)
Every vow you swore will burn like gin
Once you let the night crawl in
(crawl in, crawl in, crawl in… let it in)
**\[Outro]**
Let it in… let it in…
You can’t shut the door again
Let it in… let it in…
I was here before you began
