[start] [Intro: Hollow piano motif, distant female whispers panned left and right] [Verse 1] She leans in close, her words are ice, The past returning, the dead’s device. Her tears fall slow, but her smile betrays, The night is darker than the day. [Chorus] (Whisper choir) Dead but breathing, truth is near, The road is haunted, filled with fear. Jacob’s name, the grave’s disguise, The final truth in her ghostly eyes. [Verse 2] Her pale face shifts, her voice a sigh, The motel walls are breathing lies. Every shadow twists the air, Her touch is gone, she was never there. [Chorus] (Whisper choir, swelling strings) Dead but breathing, truth is near, The road is haunted, filled with fear. Jacob’s name, the grave’s disguise, The final truth in her ghostly eyes. [Outro: Hollow piano repeats motif, faint crying dissolves into silence] [end]
