[Intro - Whispered, with low heartbeat bass] Tick… tock… lights go down… Footsteps fade but I’m still around… Don’t look behind… I’m already gone… I’m the reason that the night feels wrong… [Hook - Instant Earworm] I’m a sha-dow wal-ker, walkin’ where the light can’t reach One step quieter than the prayers you preach You’ll never know my next move, never see me teach Sha-dow wal-ker… slip through every breach… [Verse 1] Cracks in the floorboards, that’s my avenue Curtains don’t twitch when I’m passing through Breath on your neck but the air’s ice blue Leave no prints, just a point of view Every door I choose is already cracked Every room I lose, I never look back Whisper my name and the bulbs turn black I’m the glitch in the reel on your memory track They hunt for a face but I burned the file Wearing silence like a crooked smile Plot in the dark while you’re dialin’ nine By the time you blink, I’ve changed the line [Chorus - Catchy, Chantable] I’m a sha-dow wal-ker, walkin’ where the light can’t reach One step quieter than the prayers you preach You’ll never know my next move, never see me teach Sha-dow wal-ker… slip through every breach… Hide in the flicker, live in between I’m the king of the places you’ve never been Sha-dow wal-ker… haunting your screen… [Verse 2] City of windows, but none see me pass I’m the smudge on the mirror, the fog on the glass Count to ten and your squad won’t last Cause I’m already history, moving too fast Contracts in ash, I don’t sign in ink Drink from your doubt when you stop to think Pull all the strings while you sleep in sync I’m the missing second every time you blink Map out my path and the map goes blank Every camera feed hits a dead end bank You swear you saw me, but your eyes drew blanks I’m the debt that the darkness took to the bank I’m a sha-dow wal-ker, walkin’ where the light can’t reach One step quieter than the prayers you preach You’ll never know my next move, never see me teach Sha-dow wal-ker… slip through every breach… Hide in the flicker, live in between I’m the king of the places you’ve never been *Sha-dow wal-ker… haunting your screen… [Chorus] [Bridge - Low, distorted growl] No face, no name, no trace, no claim I’m the cold spot in your picture frame Try to catch me? You’ll catch the blame Cause the shadow you’re chasing… is already tame [Verse 3] Final act: watch the streetlights die I’m the reason that the stray dogs cry Signed your fate in the moonless sky Left the world wondering how, not why No goodbye letter, no last remark Just a hollow echo down the hallways dark You’ll tell your kids to fear the park Cause that’s where the shadow left its mark Check your locks, but I’m not in the halls I’m the pause between the siren calls Build your walls, but the night still crawls I’m the answer when your courage stalls [Final Chorus - Bigger, with choir + distortion] I’m a sha-dow wal-ker, walkin’ where the light can’t reach One step quieter than the prayers you preach You’ll never know my next move, never see me teach Sha-dow wal-ker… slip through every breach… Hide in the flicker, live in between I’m the king of the places you’ve never been Sha-dow wal-ker… haunting your dreams… [Outro - Heartbeat fades to nothing] Shh… Lights on… I’m gone… …but I was never there.
