[INTRO — whispered female vocal] Close your eyes… Don’t be afraid… I only visit… When the daylight fades… [VERSE 1] He sees her sleeping beside him, Though she’s never been there before, A stranger wearing a lover’s face, Waiting behind his bedroom door. Every woman inside his dreams, Every kiss and every embrace, Turns to smoke beneath her spell, And slowly changes into her face. [PRE-CHORUS] She whispers words he cannot hear, She plants her name inside his mind, He wakes up searching for someone He’s never seen in waking time. [CHORUS — BIG HOUSE DROP] Her face in every dream, Her eyes in every scene, In every mirror, every glass, In every shadow that he passes. He thinks it must be destiny, A sign that she was meant to be, But every night when he sleeps… She gets a little closer to me. [DROP — chopped vocal] Dream… dream… dream… She’s in his head. Dream… dream… dream… She wants him dead— [VERSE 2] Then one night she’s in the window, Standing where nobody stood, He turns around — there’s no one there, Just the darkness of the neighbourhood. In the shop glass she appears, Behind him when he walks alone, Then hiding in an old movie scene, A face he swears he’s always known. A flash upon the television, A reflection in the rain, The same dark eyes, the same red lips, Again… and again… and again… [PRE-CHORUS] He starts believing there’s a reason, That the universe is pulling strings, Everywhere he looks she’s waiting, Everywhere he goes she sings. [CHORUS — BIGGER] Her face in every dream, Her eyes in every scene, In every mirror, every glass, In every shadow that he passes. He thinks it must be destiny, A sign that she was meant to be, But every night when he sleeps… She gets a little closer to me. [BREAKDOWN — BEAT DROPS LOW] Then she smiles at work… He finally sees her. “Have we met before?” She says… “Maybe in your dreams.” [BUILD] Coffee after work… A drink… A date… He thinks he found his soulmate. She thinks she finally has him. Three… Two… One… [FINAL DROP] She was never human… Never human… Never human… He didn’t fall in love with her— She crawled inside his dreams. She wore a hundred lovers’ faces, She followed him through screens. And when he finally kissed her, The room went cold and still… No reflection in the mirror. No heartbeat. Nothing there. [OUTRO — whispered] Now he dreams of her every night… And she never has to leave. Because she was never human… She was the thing beneath the dream.
