Intro - Whispered, distorted, soil shifting and insect chitter] You thought the dirt would hold me... But death and I are old friends... I’ve died from time to time... [Verse 1 - Low, crawling, intimate] You dug the hole with shaking hands, Piled the lies on top like sand. Thought a few kind words and time, Would keep me buried, out of mind. But roots twist deep where secrets rot, My fingers break the coffin lock. Feel that chill crawl up your spine? That’s me, breathing down your neck this time. [Pre-Chorus 1] The demons you tried to hide... The ones you swore had died... [Chorus 1 - Manic, screamed, layered laughter] Whahaha! You thought you buried me! Now I’ve come calling, can’t you see? Whahaha! The demons you tried to hid... Are back, baby—come to eat you alive! Crawling through your walls, under your skin, Feeding on the guilt you buried within! Whahaha! No escape, no light, I’m the shadow that owns your night! [Verse 2 - Slower, echoing resurrection] I’ve died from time to time... Like the darkness, I’m constantly revived... Each grave just a resting place, A pit stop in this endless race. You killed me with your silence cold, Left my body for the worms to hold. But every death just made me stronger, Now the night calls me its brother. [Bridge - Creepy crawly breakdown, your new lines front and center, festering] Creepy crawlies... festers and blisters... Eating away... oh the lies continued... Whahaha... They burrow through your flesh while you dream, Whispers turning into screams so obscene. The rot you fed is coming home to roost, Creepy crawlies in your bones, in your truth. Festers and blisters, open wide and raw, Every lie you told is now a festering sore. Eating away at the mask you wore, Oh the lies continued... and now they roar... Whahaha! [Verse 3 - New expansion, more visceral decay] You smiled while the dirt hit my face, Thought the silence would erase my trace. But the worms kept every secret warm, And the darkness taught me how to reform. Now blisters rise where your conscience slept, Creepy crawlies in the lies you kept. They chew through the stories you rewrote, Feeding on the guilt that clings to your throat. I’ve died from time to time, it’s true... But every grave just gave me something new. A hunger that crawls and never sleeps, A shadow that eats while the whole world weeps. [Pre-Chorus 2 - Building with insect sounds and distant screams] The demons you tried to hide... The ones you swore had died... They’re hungry... and they’re mine... [Chorus 2 - Bigger, chaotic, multiple vocal layers] Whahaha! You thought you buried me! Now I’ve come calling, can’t you see? Whahaha! The demons you tried to hid... Are back, baby—come to eat you alive! Crawling, clawing, ripping through your pride, All the rot you swallowed on the inside! Whahaha! Feel the bite, feel the sting, This is what revenge from the grave can bring! [Breakdown / Extended Bridge - Slow, crushing, spoken/screamed mix with heavy repetition] Creepy crawlies... Festers and blisters... Eating away... The lies continued... Whahaha... I’ve died from time to time... Like the darkness... constantly revived... You can’t kill what refuses to die... Now the rot is in your eye... Creepy crawlies in your mind... Festers and blisters... open wide... Eating away... the lies you tried... Whahaha... whahaha... whahaha... [Final Chorus - Full explosive decay, everything layered] Whahaha! You thought you buried me! Now the grave’s empty—look and see! Whahaha! The demons you tried to hid... Are feasting, darling, on your every lie! I’ve died from time to time... Like the darkness, I’m constantly revived! Creepy crawlies... festers and blisters... Eating away... the lies continued... Whahaha! Crawl with me into the black... You’ll never get your old life back! [Outro - Fading into wet, gurgling, multiplying laughter and insect sounds] I’ve died from time to time... Like the darkness... constantly revived... Creepy crawlies... festers and blisters... Eating away... oh the lies continued... Whahaha... Whahaha... (final distorted, chittering, echoing scream-laugh that slowly buries itself again... only to whisper one last time) ...I’m still here...
