[Intro] [distorted electronic pulse] [breathy layered whispers] [glitching vocal fragments] The lights go out… but I can still see you. Something in the dark keeps pulling me through. [deep synth swell] [heartbeat-like kick] [Verse 1] I woke up underneath a ceiling full of red, with every little shadow crawling through my head. The room keeps moving like it knows what I became, and every time I close my eyes, I hear my name. There’s something breathing right behind me, something waiting just to find me. I turn around— there’s nothing there. I feel its fingers in my hair. [Pre-Chorus] [rapid electronic percussion] [whispered vocal layers] Closer… closer… I can feel it getting closer. Faster… faster… now the darkness has a pulse. [Chorus] [heavy bass drop] [angelic siren vocal] [crushing electronic drums] You can’t hide from me tonight, I can see you through the light. When the whole damn world goes black, I’ll be the voice that calls you back. Run until your heartbeat breaks, scream until the silence shakes. You can disappear from sight— but you’ll never lose me tonight. [Post-Chorus] [glitched vocal chops] Ah-ah-ah… don’t close your eyes. Ah-ah-ah… I’m still alive. [Verse 2] [dark synth bass] [crisp electronic drums] I found your silhouette beneath the ultraviolet, moving like a ghost underneath the flashing lights. Red smoke hanging from the ceiling like a curse, and every step you take just makes the nightmare worse. I taste the static on my tongue, hear the warning when it’s sung. There’s no heaven in this room. Only flowers starting to bloom. [Pre-Chorus] [drums building] [whispered harmonies] Closer… closer… now I know you’re getting closer. Faster… faster… feel the floor begin to shake. [Chorus] [full electronic metalcore impact] You can’t hide from me tonight, I can see you through the light. When the whole damn world goes black, I’ll be the voice that calls you back. Run until your heartbeat breaks, scream until the silence shakes. You can disappear from sight— but you’ll never lose me tonight. [Breakdown] [everything cuts out] [low whispered vocal] Don’t. Look. Behind. You. [violent bass impact] I SAID— DON’T LOOK BEHIND YOU. [feral scream] THE NIGHT IS WIDE AWAKE. [distorted synth surge] [Bridge] [half-time drums] [angelic siren] If I disappear, will you come looking? If I stop breathing, will you still hear me? Maybe I’m the monster that you keep running from. Maybe I’m the nightmare you were dreaming of. [whispered] Maybe I was never outside… [beat cuts] Maybe I was always inside your head. [Final Chorus] [huge layered vocals] [metalcore guitars + distorted synth bass] You can’t hide from me tonight, there’s nowhere left to run. When the darkness takes the light, I’ll become what you’ve become. Let the red lights burn above, let the shadows swallow us. If this is where the nightmare ends— [brief silence] then let it start again. [feral scream] START IT AGAIN. [Outro] [glitching heartbeat] [soft whispered harmony] The lights come back… but you’re still here. [distorted whisper] Goodnight.
