Intro – eerie / slow / echoing]
There’s something breathing in the dark…
Calling out my name…
But it sounds like me…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Footsteps echo down the hall
Pictures shake but never fall
Every shadow bends and crawls
Like it’s listening through the walls
Windows cracked but nothing’s there
Cold wind tangles through my hair
I swear I locked every door
But I hear something on the floor
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – tension build]
Every light begins to fade
Every prayer I never prayed
Something wearing my disguise
Watching through familiar eyes
⸻
[Chorus – haunting hook]
There’s a whisper in the walls tonight
Calling me deeper into the night
It knows my fears, it knows my sins
It knows the darkness living within
I try to run but it follows me
Through every memory I tried to leave
There’s no escape, no place to hide
It’s waiting on the other side
⸻
[Verse 2 – darker imagery]
Mirrors show a fractured face
Someone else is in my place
Smiling when I’m standing still
Moving when I fight the chill
Clocks stop ticking when I breathe
Time gets tangled in the seams
Voices hum beneath the floor
Like they’ve heard my thoughts before
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – rising dread]
Every truth begins to bend
Every nightmare feels like friend
Something scratching in my mind
Telling me I’ll never find
⸻
[Chorus – bigger / layered vocals]
There’s a whisper in the walls tonight
Calling me deeper into the night
It knows my fears, it knows my sins
It knows the darkness living within
I try to run but it follows me
Through every memory I tried to leave
There’s no escape, no place to hide
It’s waiting on the other side
⸻
[Bridge – stripped back / unsettling / slow build]
If I turn around, will it be there?
Standing closer than the air?
If I scream, will anyone hear?
Or is silence all that’s near?
Maybe it’s not haunting me…
Maybe it’s what I’m meant to be…
⸻
[Final Chorus – intense / dramatic]
There’s a whisper in the walls tonight
And it’s learning how to wear my life
It knows my voice, it knows my skin
It knows exactly where I’ve been
I try to fight but I’m losing ground
It speaks in thoughts without a sound
There’s no escape, no place to hide
It’s breathing right behind my eyes
⸻
[Outro – fading / chilling]
Footsteps echo…
Lights go black…
Something whispers…
“I’m not going back…”
