[Whisper] Don't answer them. They only sound like me. [Verse I] I counted every crack for comfort. I gave them numbers. I gave them prayers. The ceiling blinked exactly seven times. That means I'm safe. No— That means they know. [Outburst] WHO TAUGHT THE WALLS MY NAME? WHO LEFT MY BREATH INSIDE THE PLASTER? WHO MOVED THE ROOM WHILE I WAS SLEEPING? [Verse II] Listen... They're laughing again. No, they're coughing. No—listen. Listen! You hear it now. Don't pretend you don't. [Collapse] Maybe I invented them. Maybe they invented me. Maybe I was always the echo. [Manic Spiral] Every brick remembers. Every nail is watching. Every shadow writes reports. Every doorway closes twice. Every silence has a pulse. Every pulse has teeth. Every tooth knows my name. [Quiet] I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted. They're kinder when I whisper. [Rant] Don't smile at me! You smile because they've spoken to you! You brought them here! You measured my footsteps! You folded my dreams into the wallpaper! You call this a room— it's a mouth! It's eating the hours! It's chewing my thoughts! STOP LOOKING AT ME! [Hallucination] The floor breathes. The lights blink in sentences. The door opens inward forever. My reflection leaves before I do. [Final Frenzy] I REMEMBER TOMORROW! I FORGOT YESTERDAY! THE WALLS ARE BREATHING MY VOICE! THE WALLS ARE WEARING MY SKIN! THE WALLS LEARNED MY NAME— AND NOW THEY WON'T STOP SAYING IT. [Aftermath] ... They're quiet. That's worse.
