Footsteps echo where no one stands A face I know, in stranger’s hands It doesn’t run, it doesn’t speak Just closes in, week by week Pre-Chorus Mirrors lie, but they still stare Every room says “It’s right there” Chorus It follows me, slow and sure No cure for something passed like yours It wears the faces that I trust Love turned ritual, fear turned lust It follows me, night and day I keep running, it keeps its pace I look back once—I shouldn’t have It never stops, it never asks Verse 2 Sleeping pills and loaded doors Swimming pools and hospital floors I trade my guilt for borrowed time Another body in the line I watch the distance, count the steps Every calm’s a deeper threat When it gets close, it feels like fate A walking curse I can’t outrun or wait Pre-Chorus Every lover leaves a trace Every touch extends the chase Chorus It follows me, slow and sure No cure for something passed like yours It wears the faces that I trust Love turned ritual, fear turned lust It follows me, night and day I keep running, it keeps its pace I look back once—I shouldn’t have It never stops, it never asks Bridge What if love is just a lie we tell To hand the monster someone else? What if hell is knowing when It reaches you… it’s your turn again Break Don’t run Don’t stop Don’t blink Don’t trust Final Chorus It follows me, down every road A human shell, a hollow mode When it arrives, it wears my face A final step, a slow embrace It follows you, now don’t pretend You feel the weight when footsteps end You passed it on—but understand It’s still walking… just like you planned Outro Still walking… Always walking…
