If you don't tame your mind your mind will rule you [Psychological Horror / Dark Cinematic Horrorcore] [Intro – Barely Audible Whisper] There's something in the corner... Don't look. I said don't fucking look. It doesn't know you see it yet. (Three soft knocks) ...Too late. [Verse 1 – Slow, Creeping Dread] There's a shape where the ceiling meets the wall, Too fucking tall to be standing there at all. Its knees bend backward, its fingers drag low, And its head keeps turning where a head shouldn't go. I caught it in the mirror, just a sliver of its face, Now every goddamn reflection has a stranger in my place. I shut my eyes tight, felt a breath against my skin, Then something underneath the bed whispered, "Can I come in?" The hallway stretches longer every time I turn around, There's bare feet running but they never make a sound. The closet door is breathing, see the hinges slowly bend, And the shadow on the carpet has a fucking hand at the end. [Pre-Chorus – Whisper Building] They don't come when you call... They don't move when you stare... They wait until you notice... Then they know you're fucking there. [Chorus – Explosive, Terrifying] DON'T LOOK LEFT! DON'T LOOK RIGHT! DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE THINGS THAT CRAWL AT NIGHT! They were nothing till you gave 'em your eyes, Now they're wearing your face when you close 'em at night. DON'T TURN BACK! DON'T SAY A WORD! DON'T ANSWER THE VOICE THAT YOU KNOW YOU HEARD! The darkness was empty till you let it know... And once you fucking see them, THEY NEVER LET GO! [Verse 2 – Increasingly Disturbing] Three seventeen, there's a tapping in the vent, Like a hundred tiny knuckles trying to pay the fucking rent. Something's crawling in the drywall, I can hear its teeth scrape, And the wallpaper is swelling like a body underneath. There's a woman in the kitchen with her back against the door, Her black hair drags behind her, leaves a trail across the floor. She hasn't moved an inch since I first noticed her there, But every time I fucking blink there's less distance between chairs. Her jaw drops to her chest, then it opens to her knees, There's a thousand little voices begging, "Baby, look at me." I stare down at the carpet, try to make it disappear, Then a mouth beneath my shadow whispers, "I'm already here." [Bridge – Silence, Then Layers of Whispers] They live inside the seconds Between the light and dark. They memorize your breathing. They learn the rhythm of your heart. They stand beside your pillow, With their faces inches wide. And they wait for you to wonder What the fuck is by your side. (Whisper, left ear) "Don't be scared..." (Whisper, right ear) "We've always been here..." (Directly behind) "YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FINALLY LOOKED." [Verse 3 – Frantic, Paranoid Descent] Now the clock ticks backward, every picture's turned around, There's a wet and heavy dragging coming up from underground. The television's unplugged but it's showing me asleep, With a figure standing over me that's smiling through its teeth. I run into the bathroom, splash some water on my face, But the thing inside the mirror doesn't move until I wait. Then it lifts one crooked finger, slowly points behind my head, And mouths six little words: "YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN BED." The lights start fucking flickering, there's scratching in the glass, I can hear my mother's voice from something crawling on its ass. Every door leads to the bedroom, every window shows the hall, And the shadows keep on multiplying every time the curtains fall. I scream into the darkness, "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!" Then a thousand mouths answer from the ceiling all at once: "WE DON'T WANT YOUR BODY. WE DON'T WANT YOUR SOUL. WE JUST WANT YOU WATCHING... TILL YOU'RE NOT ALONE." [Final Chorus – Violent, Chaotic] DON'T LOOK LEFT! DON'T LOOK RIGHT! THEY'VE BEEN WAITING IN THE CORNERS OF YOUR LIFE! They were patient, they were silent, they were buried out of sight, Till you turned your fucking head and gave the darkness life! DON'T BLINK NOW! DON'T TURN AWAY! EVERYTHING YOU SAW IS HERE TO FUCKING STAY! You can burn every light till the morning starts to glow, But once the darkness knows you... IT WON'T EVER LET GO! [Outro – Whisper, Nearly Silent] I finally stopped looking. I covered every mirror. I nailed the closet shut. I sleep with every light on. And for three whole nights... Nothing. (10 seconds of silence) Then this morning, I noticed something strange. My shadow was still standing when I walked away. (Soft laughter) And when I turned to look... It shook its fucking head. (Whisper) "Don't look at me..." "...Look at what's behind you." [Sudden Cut to Silence]
