[HOOK — melodic, repeatable, slightly stuttered] In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my head— it loops (loops) I didn’t ask for the picture Now the picture asks for me In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my chest— it thumps (thumps) Say “forget it” like a prayer Still the signal won’t leave [VERSE 1 — tight, rhythmic sing-rap, long bars] I was fine till the moment went sideways, like a soft click behind the eyes, like my name said quiet through a wire that shouldn’t know me. I scroll past, I blink twice, I tell myself it’s nothing, it’s late, it’s just noise— then my pulse starts learning a new pattern. It’s not fear like a scream, it’s fear like a file that copied itself, thin at first, then everywhere, living in the pauses between words. I catch myself listening to silence like it owes me an answer, like the dark has a mouth and I just gave it a mic. [PRE — shorter, rising] Don’t touch it. Don’t feed it. Don’t open it again. Too late— it’s already in. [HOOK] In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my head— it loops (loops) I didn’t ask for the picture Now the picture asks for me In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my chest— it thumps (thumps) Say “forget it” like a prayer Still the signal won’t leave [VERSE 2 — heavier cadence, reese answers last word] I tried to laugh it off, tried to make it a story I can control, but it keeps upgrading— cleaner, smarter, closer. Every time I “move on,” it finds a new door in the same hallway of my mind, shows up polite, like it belongs here. And I hate how it mimics comfort— how it wears my voice like a mask, how it turns my memories into bait with my own handwriting. I’m not haunted by a monster. I’m haunted by the part of me that keeps looking. [MID-CUT — only sub + vocal, intimate, almost whispered] No drums. No cover. Just me and the low note. I can feel it listening. Waiting for my breathing to settle… so it can borrow it. [FINAL HOOK — biggest, distorted doubles + whispered layers] In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my head— it loops (loops) I didn’t ask for the picture Now the picture asks for me In the glow— I keep it (keep it) In my chest— it thumps (thumps) Say “forget it” like a prayer Still the signal won’t leave
