SILENT NIGHTMARE ZYRO [Intro — Broken Christmas Music Box, Winter Wind] [Deep, Distorted Whisper] Silent night… Holy night… [Music Box Slows and Warps] Funny. Nobody ever talks about What happens after midnight. [Deep 808 Impact] [Chorus — Low, Menacing Rhythmic Rap] Silent nightmare, nightmare, Footsteps in the snow but nobody there. Black sky, cold stare, Christmas lights flicker when I walk downstairs. Silent nightmare, nightmare, Something in the shadows, better say your prayers. Tick-tock, midnight, breathe that frozen air, Welcome to December— It’s a silent nightmare. [Verse 1 — Deep, Controlled Rap] Twelve on the clock, got the frost on the pane, Every house on the block looking exactly the same. Little golden decorations hanging over every door, But there’s something in the silence that I’ve never heard before. Got a shadow in the hallway, got a whisper through the wall, Got a number on my telephone that nobody should call. There’s a present on the doorstep with a ribbon made of black, And a note that says, “Remember what you thought you left in the past.” [Flow Switch — Faster, Precise] Cold breath, slow steps, silhouettes, no rest, Dark street, heartbeat, snow deep, no sleep. Door creaks, floor squeaks, somebody speaks, But the voice inside the darkness sounds a little like me. [Pre-Chorus — Whispered, Minimal Music Box] Don’t look behind you. Don’t turn on the light. Every secret has a season… And tonight’s the night. [Chorus — Heavy, Distorted 808s] Silent nightmare, nightmare, Footsteps in the snow but nobody there. Black sky, cold stare, Christmas lights flicker when I walk downstairs. Silent nightmare, nightmare, Something in the shadows, better say your prayers. Tick-tock, midnight, breathe that frozen air, Welcome to December— It’s a silent nightmare. [Verse 2 — Aggressive Technical Double-Time] Got a psychological phenomenon, a phantom in the corridor, A memory that’s knocking like a stranger at the bedroom door. A flickering reflection and a terrifying metaphor, Every little secret that I buried wants a little more. [Rapid-Fire Flow — Intensifying] Hallucination, isolation, midnight manifestation, Frozen fascination, psychological confrontation. Heart acceleration, shadow duplication, Every decoration turning into dark imagination! [Flow Switch — Deep, Rhythmic] Red lights, green lights, blink twice, freeze, Got a little winter nightmare dancing through the trees. Black boots, white snow, nobody knows, Where the footsteps disappear when the northern wind blows. Got a mirror in the hallway and a face I recognize, But the person looking back has got a different pair of eyes. Then the clock begins to ring and the reflection starts to grin, And I realize the nightmare isn’t trying to get in. [Beat Stops] It’s already here. [Bridge — Whispered Dialogue, Music Box Only] [Distorted Whisper] ZYRO… [ZYRO — Deep Spoken Voice] Who’s there? [Distorted Whisper] You know who. [ZYRO] Show yourself. [Distorted Whisper] Look in the mirror. [Long Silence] [ZYRO — Cold, Calm] Oh. It’s you. [Massive Bass Drop] [Final Chorus — Explosive, Dark Layered Vocals] Silent nightmare, nightmare, Footsteps in the snow but nobody there. Black sky, cold stare, Christmas lights flicker when I walk downstairs. Silent nightmare, nightmare, Something in the shadows, better say your prayers. Tick-tock, midnight, breathe that frozen air, Welcome to December— It’s a silent nightmare. [Outro — Deep, Almost Laughing Whisper] They say Christmas brings out The best in everybody. [Pause] Guess they never met The other side of me. [Broken Music Box Stops] ZYRO.
