We Saved You A Seat

E minor, 68 BPM, Extreme psychological horror soundscape with an entirely children's choir, no adult vocals, Suffocating, intimate, uncanny and deeply unsettling, No conventional nursery-song arrangement, Begin with near-silence, low-frequency room pressure, distant timber groans, faint structural creaking and irregular sounds moving above the listener, Children's voices sing in unnervingly calm unison, dry and close, with subtly unnatural timing and sparse dissonant vocal clusters, Surround them with bowed metal, resonant pipe vibrations, scraping concrete, deep sub-bass, granular mechanical textures, distant knocks and long stretches of near-silence, Sounds should seem to move through the walls and ceiling, never resolving into a clear source, Gradually intensify the drone and physical tension without becoming rhythmic or bombastic, The final children's refrain feels ritualistic and emotionally blank, End with a single floorboard creak, a decaying low drone and absolute silence

[Intro] [Key: E Minor | BPM: 68] [Instrumental Only] [Small Wooden Blocks | Distant Music-Box Tones | Low Mechanical Drone] [An Uneven Rhythm, Like Someone Walking Slowly Upstairs] [Verse 1] [child, kid, lead vocals] There's a place beneath the stairs Where we keep the things downstairs. Coats and shoes and boxes brown, Things that shouldn't make a sound. Mother says to count to ten If we hear that noise again. One, two, three, and then we stop. Someone's walking to the top. [Chorus] [child, kid, lead vocals] We saved you a seat. We set out a plate. We knew you'd be coming. We stayed up late. We saved you a seat. We left on the light. You always come visit When nobody's in sight. [Verse 2] [child, kid, lead vocals] Teacher says we shouldn't lie. We say we saw a man walk by. He stood beside the monkey bars And left the scent of burned cigars. Daddy says there's no one there. Daddy says it's just the air. But last night Daddy locked the door. We heard the footsteps all the more. [Chorus] [child, kid, lead vocals] We saved you a seat. We set out a plate. We knew you'd be coming. We stayed up late. We saved you a seat. We left on the light. You always come visit When nobody's in sight. [Bridge] [child, kid, lead vocals] [Music Box Stops | Children's Voices Continue, Unaccompanied] He knows our names. He knows our games. He knows which window Has no frame. He knows the room Where we hide. He knows the things We keep inside. [Pause] He says we're good. He says we're kind. He says there's nothing We should mind. [Final Chorus] [Low Drone Returns | Children Sing in Perfect, Unnaturally Steady Harmony] [child, kid, lead vocals] We saved you a seat. We set out a plate. We knew you'd be coming. We stayed up late. We saved you a seat. We left on the light. You always come visit When nobody's in sight. [Outro] [Instrumental Only] [Wooden Blocks Stop One by One] [A Single Floorboard Creaks] [Silence]
