[Intro] [Whisper] don’t turn around don’t turn around [Detuned Strings Swell] [Very Soft Female Whisper] it hears you thinking [Verse 1] Every night the hallway breathes again Floorboards crack like brittle bones in the dark I hold my breath beneath the sheets And pray the silence leaves me alone There’s something wrong with the shadows now They move before I move I swear I saw the doorway bend Like the house was trying to open [Whisper] don’t think about it [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat shaking through the mattress Cold sweat dripping down my spine I close my eyes but somehow It still feels me looking away [Chorus] Everyone’s afraid of the dark Everyone’s afraid of the unknown But once you start searching the silence Something starts searching you And every night it gets closer Every thought feeds it more Maybe fear was never in my head Maybe fear opened the door [Interlude] [Childlike Whisper] don’t turn around don’t turn around don’t turn around [Distorted Whisper] it’s behind you [Verse 2] I stopped sleeping weeks ago Now the ceiling pulses when I blink Shapes crawl slowly through the corners And vanish when I try to focus I hear breathing in the walls Something scratching underneath the floor Every room feels slightly wrong Like reality shifted while I slept And now the dark feels heavier Like gravity collapsing inward I swear the hallway gets longer Every single night [Pre-Chorus] No rest No peace No light No sleep [Female Whisper – panicked] don’t let it see you [Chorus] Everyone’s afraid of the dark Everyone’s afraid to be alone But once your mind gives shape to terror It follows you home And every night it gets stronger Every panic lets it grow Maybe monsters don’t come from shadows Maybe monsters come from knowing [Bridge] [Spoken Word] I tried not to think about it That’s the worst part The more afraid I became The more real it sounded The more real it sounded The more I listened And then… One night… It answered me [Silence] [Very Soft Whisper] behind you [Crescendo] [Breakdown] [Blast Beats Enter] [Pitch Scream] I HEARD IT SPEAK MY NAME [False Cord Growl] THE SHADOWS MOVED WHEN I LOOKED AWAY [Fry Scream] THE WALLS ARE BREATHING THE FLOOR IS PULSING [Guttural] YOU THOUGHT OF ME [Chaotic Layered Whispers] (behind you) (it hears you) (don’t turn around) (it’s inside the walls) [False Cord Growl] EVERY DOORWAY OPENS INTO NOTHING [Fry Scream] EVERY MIRROR SHOWS IT CLOSER [Guttural] YOU FED ME YOUR FEAR [Childlike Whisper – frantic] don’t turn around DON’T TURN AROUND [Apocalyptic Instrumental Collapse] [Outro] [Heavy Breathing] [Silence] [Very Soft Whisper] you thought of me [End]
