A black cat in a black room... (Goffmaniana)

[intro] Black cat… don’t turn around… [Verse 1] In the attic where shadows stay, Where the dust won’t fade away, Every board sings low and slow, Of the names you shouldn’t know. Moonlight cuts a silver line, Through the cracks of rotting time, In the corner, still as death — Black cat waiting, holding breath. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look back, don’t call her name, Once you do — you feed the flame, Hear the house begin to say: “You’re not leaving… you will stay…” [Chorus] Black cat in the dark — don’t move, She is dancing to your groove, Every step you try to take, Is another thread she’ll break. Black cat, velvet eyes so wide, Pulling you to the other side, Turn around — it’s far too late, You’re already in her gaze. [Verse 2] Floorboards hum beneath your feet, Like a slow and crooked beat, Every breath you try to hide, Echoes back from deep inside. On the walls the shadows lean, Speaking things you’ve never been, And she moves without a sound, Like the dark is bending down. [Pre-Chorus] Try to run, but feel the thread, Pulling softly in your chest, Every whisper, every plea — Turns into her melody… [Chorus] Black cat in the dark — don’t move, She is dancing to your groove, Every step you try to take, Is another thread she’ll break. Black cat, closer than your skin, Closer than the air within, Close your eyes to make her fade — See her clearer in the shade. [Bridgel] I can feel it in my bones… This is not an empty home… I’m not lost, I understand… I was always part of this plan… If I’m just a shape she keeps… Who is watching when I sleep… [Final Chorus] Black cat in the dark — she stays, Living in my voice and veins, Every step, a deeper fall, I was never leaving at all. Black cat — say it soft and slow, “I’m the one you used to know…” When I whisper, “Set me free…” She says: “You are me…” [Outro] Black cat… still inside… never gone…
