Verse 1 Static on the radio, champagne on the floor Headlights kiss the driveway, then they’re gone once more A knock at the door like a nervous tic Soft voice in the dark asking, “Is Tamara here?” Pre-Chorus Deadbolt breathing, walls listening Footsteps pacing where the shadows live Paper smiles cut from bone You’re not alone—you’re never alone Chorus They don’t need a reason They don’t need a name Porcelain faces playing mercy games The night keeps asking, “Why are you afraid?” The answer’s simple— You answered the door, you let them stay Verse 2 Kitchen light flickers like a dying prayer Scratches on the vinyl, laughter in the air A man at the window, still as a sin Another one watching from under your skin Pre-Chorus Heartbeat drumming through the wood Every silence misunderstood Eyes behind the mask don’t blink They don’t think—they just exist Chorus They don’t need a reason They don’t need a name Porcelain faces playing mercy games The night keeps asking, “Why are you afraid?” The answer’s simple— You were home, that’s all it takes Bridge Shotgun shaking, hands betray Hope bleeds out in the break of day Promises carved into pain “Next time, it won’t be the same” Breakdown Because you were home Because you were home Because you were— Final Chorus No motive carved in the knife No ending that feels like life Just three silhouettes in the dawn’s cold glare Smiling like they were never there Outro Sirens cry too late to save Masks fade into the waking day The door still breathes The house remembers everything
