Verse 1 There’s a whisper in the walls tonight Calling softly from the other side I tried to run but I can’t move Like the dark is telling me what to do Shadows crawling on the ceiling Twisting shapes I can’t believe in Every breath feels out of place Something’s standing in the space Pre-Chorus Close your eyes… you’ll see it clear Every nightmare starts right here Chorus Don’t fall asleep, don’t drift away That’s when they come out to play Hear them breathing in the dark Feel their fingers leave a mark Don’t fall asleep, don’t lose the light They get closer every night When you scream, no one will hear You’re not alone… they’re always near Verse 2 There’s a figure at the end of the bed Smiling like it knows what’s in my head It tilts slowly, breaks its shape Like it’s wearing someone else’s face Clock is ticking, but it’s wrong Every second twice as long Try to wake but I’m still here Trapped inside another fear Pre-Chorus Count to three… but don’t look back Something’s slipping through the cracks Chorus Don’t fall asleep, don’t drift away That’s when they come out to play Hear them breathing in the dark Feel their fingers leave a mark Don’t fall asleep, don’t lose the light They get closer every night When you scream, no one will hear You’re not alone… they’re always near Bridge (whispered / distorted) (They’re watching…) Underneath your skin (They’re waiting…) Let the dark begin No escape, no control They remember every soul Final Chorus (intense, layered, chaotic) Don’t fall asleep, don’t drift away They’re already in your brain Hear them calling out your name Nothing’s ever been the same Don’t fall asleep, don’t close your eyes You won’t wake up this time In the dark, you disappear Now you’re one of them… in here Outro (soft, eerie whisper) Just fall asleep… We’ll keep you safe…
