[Intro: Muted acoustic guitar picking, low pulsing 808 sub bass, soft breathing] [Verse 1: Whispered vocals, sparse beat, room-tone acoustics] Count the footsteps in the hall Measure the shadow on the wall Key in the lock, a sudden turn Learning which bridges are about to burn Breath held tight behind the door Counting the creaks in the hardwood floor [Pre-Chorus: Low distorted guitar swell, 808 pulse quickens] Don't make a sound, don't move an inch Learn how to bleed without a flinch If you don't speak, you can't be heard Safety lives in the unspoken word [Chorus: Soft melodic vocals, heavy pulsing 808 bass, crushing hard rock riff] Walking on eggshells in the dark Trying not to leave a single mark Freeze instead of fight, fade into the wall Become invisible before the heavy hands fall Yeah, I learned to be nothing at all [Verse 2: Hushed rap-style delivery, heavy low-end bass] Reading the air like a storm report Every heavy step is a court order Predicting the mood by the door slam sound Eyes on the floorboards, head kept down Make yourself small, make yourself air If they don't see you, you aren't there [Pre-Chorus: Low distorted guitar swell, 808 pulse quickens] Don't make a sound, don't move an inch Learn how to bleed without a flinch If you don't speak, you can't be heard Safety lives in the unspoken word [Chorus: Soft melodic vocals, heavy pulsing 808 bass, crushing hard rock riff] Walking on eggshells in the dark Trying not to leave a single mark Freeze instead of fight, fade into the wall Become invisible before the heavy hands fall Yeah, I learned to be nothing at all [Bridge: Heavy hard rock beat drop, hushed intense whisper, dark sub bass] [Instrumental: Heavy distorted guitars, fast heart-beat 808 pulse] (Quiet hours...) Hold your breath. (Quiet hours...) Don't draw attention. If you don't move... they won't notice. If you don't move... you stay safe. [Outro: Muted guitar picking returns, 808 sub pulse slows down, quiet whisper] Count the footsteps... One, two, three... Still holding my breath. [Fade out] [End]
