[Intro]
[Close Whisper]
There is a room behind my eyes,
No window, lock, or morning sky.
I count the teeth along the door,
Then hear you asking me for more.

[Verse 1]
I keep your photograph face down
Beside the glass I never touch.
The paper curls, the corners brown,
But I still need it far too much.
I fed the ache with borrowed names,
With sleepless hands and kitchen flames.
Each time I swear that this will end,
The want returns and calls me friend.

[Pre-Chorus]
Something moves beneath my ribs,
Something learns the shape of this.
I close my mouth, I hold my breath,
It hums a promise under death.

[Chorus]
Open the door, let the hunger in,
Let it wear my face and pull the skin.
I give it every thought I hide,
It leaves no room for me inside.
Take what is left, take all I save,
Make a throne from the life I gave.
When I say no, it answers through:
I am still here because of you.

[Verse 2]
The hallway bends around the sound
Of footsteps matching mine for mine.
I leave three cups upon the ground;
By dawn, the third is always dry.
The mirror fogs without the heat,
A second pulse repeats my beat.
I write your name across my arm,
Then watch the letters rearrange.

[Pre-Chorus]
Something waits beneath the floor,
Something knows what I came for.
I hear it breathe behind the wall,
And miss the fear before the call.

[Breakdown]
[Whisper]
Do not turn around.
Do not turn around.
It learned your voice.
It learned your voice.

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I found the room behind my eyes,
The door was never locked or closed.
You were the hand that held the knife,
I was the wound that chose to grow.
I tore the photograph in two;
Both halves still looked exactly like you.

[Final Chorus]
Open the door, let the hunger in,
Let it wear my face and pull the skin.
I give it every thought I hide,
It leaves no room for me inside.
Take what is left, take all I save,
Make a throne from the life I gave.
When I say no, it answers through:
I am still here because of you.

[Final Scream]
I am still here because of you!

[Outro]
[Breathy Whisper]
The room is quiet.
The third cup is empty.
And something is still asking.
