[Intro] [Whispered clean male, distant, uneasy] Sleeping with one eye open… Praying I never drift away… [Verse 1] [Unclean male, controlled, mid tempo groove] Hellish nights, I feel it crawl Something breathing through my walls Every shadow bends and breaks Every silence starts to shake I hear a bump in the night again Is it rats or something within Ghost in the ceiling, watching me Or just my mind unraveling [Pre-Chorus] [Clean male, low baritone, tense restraint] I close my eyes but it gets louder The dark pulls in, it wraps me tighter [Chorus] [Clean + unclean layered, powerful, emotional] What is the sound that follows me In every breath, in every dream Is it real or in my head Something waking from the dead I hear it call, I feel it near Feeding off my growing fear If I run, it’s still inside Nowhere left for me to hide [Verse 2] [Unclean male, more aggressive, groove heavier] Sheets pulled tight across my face I don’t want to see its shape Little girl with no face Still she whispers through the space Long black hair, she moves slow Through the halls I used to know Voice of comfort, voice of lies Speaking through my mother’s eyes [Pre-Chorus] [Clean male, strained, rising intensity] I try to breathe but something’s wrong This fear has lived in me too long [Chorus] [Full band, bigger, layered vocals] What is the sound that follows me In every breath, in every dream Is it real or in my head Something waking from the dead I hear it call, I feel it near Feeding off my growing fear If I run, it’s still inside Nowhere left for me to hide [Breakdown] [Low guttural + silence hits, heavy rhythm punches] It’s in the walls It’s in the floor It’s in the voice behind the door It never left It never died You carried it your whole life [Bridge] [Clean male, haunting, minimal instruments] I ran into the light of day But something followed anyway Not a ghost… not a dream… It was always part of me [Final Chorus] [Huge, emotional + aggressive blend] What is the sound that lives in me In every breath, in every dream Not a ghost beneath my bed It’s the darkness in my head I hear it call, I feel it near I’ve been feeding it my fear No escape, no divide I was never safe inside [Outro] [Soft clean, fading] Sleeping with one eye open… Now I know the reason why… [end song]
