They Don’t Blink Anymore

[Verse 1] The streetlights hum like they’re remembering Every face that used to pass them by But now the neighbours move too quietly Like they’re waiting for a signal in the sky Their smiles stretch a little too evenly Their footsteps fall in perfect time I swear I hear them breathing in unison Like something else is living in their minds [Chorus] They don’t blink anymore They just stare like they know what’s coming Every heartbeat feels wrong Like the world is quietly becoming Something colder than before Something watching from behind the door They don’t blink anymore And I don’t think they’re human anymore [Verse 2] I tried to speak but they all answered me With the same soft tone and tilted heads Repeating words like they were programmed Echoes stitched together from the dead Their shadows fall in shapes that shouldn’t be Too tall, too thin, too slow to fade And when I turned away for just a breath They were suddenly closer than they’d been made [Chorus] They don’t blink anymore They just stare like they know what’s coming Every heartbeat feels wrong Like the world is quietly becoming Something colder than before Something watching from behind the door They don’t blink anymore And I don’t think they’re human anymore [Bridge] A silent ripple in the sky And every face turns upward As if they’re waiting for the light I feel it crawling in me A whisper under my skin If I stay here any longer I’ll start changing just like them [Final Chorus] They don’t blink anymore And the air feels heavy with knowing Every heartbeat feels wrong And the darkness underneath is growing Something colder than before Something watching from behind the door They don’t blink... [Beat] I’m not sure I’m human anymore
