[Intro – Tapping, scratching, muffled breathing inside the walls]
“They told you it was just the house…
…but it was always me.”
⸻
[Verse 1 – Clean vocals, eerie, spoken almost like a confession]
I hear myself from the other side
A voice like mine, but split and wide
It talks in circles behind the glass
Repeats my past, rewrites it fast
There’s something watching through the paint
It laughs when I try to say I ain’t
Losing it, but I know I am
I saw my hands move… but I never began
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Whispered chant under soft singing]
They’re in the cracks, they’re in the seams…
Every breath becomes a scream…
⸻
[Chorus – Screamed lead, soaring clean hook behind it]
They’re in the walls, they watch me sleep
They steal my face, they crawl too deep
I claw at silence just to breathe
But they stitch their hunger underneath
I thought I locked the door last night
But something’s whispering just right
Don’t look away—don’t try to stall
You live with me now…
In the walls.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rhythmic rap-rock blend, glitchy static overlays]
I blink and lose a week again
Found my name written in a different pen
Photos warped, my eyes aren’t there
Something else was standing where I stared
I hear footsteps on the ceiling tiles
Smiling portraits stretch for miles
I’ve bitten down, I’ve bit my tongue
But this house still sings the songs I’ve sung
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Female backing whisper beneath melody]
They’re humming through the TV’s breath…
They wear your shape and fake your death…
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat with added harmonies and layered distortion]
They’re in the walls, they watch me sleep
They steal my face, they crawl too deep
I claw at silence just to breathe
But they stitch their hunger underneath
I thought I locked the door last night
But something’s whispering just right
Don’t look away—don’t try to stall
You live with me now…
In the walls.
⸻
[Breakdown – Bone-crunching tempo shift, multi-layer screams, chaotic FX]
(GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!)
YOU SHOULD’VE LEFT WHEN THE WALLS WERE QUIET!
NOW YOU’RE A VOICE THAT THEY’LL REWRITE!
I AM THE FLOORBOARDS, I AM THE DOORS!
I AM THE SKIN THAT’S NOT YOURS ANYMORE!
⸻
[Bridge – Minimalist, whispered duet: possessed & victim]
“What are you?”
I’m what’s left.
“Why are you here?”
You took the breath.
“Please let me go…”
But you already did.
You left yourself… and I slid in.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Slow and suffocating, full choir under lead vocals]
They’re in the walls, and now so am I
I left the light, forgot to cry
I gave them room, I gave them name
And now I hum their song in shame
I never left, I never ran
I’m just a whisper through your fan
If you hear tapping down the hall—
That’s not a mouse…
That’s me. In the walls.
⸻
[Outro – Faint knocking, steadily growing closer. One last voice, barely audible:]
“Let me in.
Or I’ll let myself out.”
