The Voice Behind Me (Mashup)

[singer A] Streetlight died when you crossed Ninth Your left foot dragged Mine answered twice No cars moving No doors unlocked Still heard my breathing Keeping your walk You cut through the alley Changed your pace Pulled up your hood Wouldn’t show me your face [transition] [singer A] Don’t turn around yet I’m not standing right Keep walking like you don’t hear me Keep your shoulders tight Don’t turn around yet You’re almost in time That ain’t breath against your neck That’s your body learning mine [transition] [singer B] I woke beneath the midnight rain, While darkness waited at my door. The world outside had fallen still, And I had never felt afraid before. The rain stopped dead, the silence came, Then animals began to cry. Their voices filled the empty night, Like something evil had come alive. I left my room to find my mother, But something waited in the hall. A dog and cat stood like two people, Their bloody eyes fixed through the wall. [transition] [singer A] I NEVER WALKED BEHIND YOU I NEVER CROSSED YOUR STREET I KEPT THE WORDS ONE STEP BACK SO YOU WOULD FOLLOW THE BEAT EVERY TIME YOU TURNED YOUR HEAD YOU GAVE ME MORE CONTROL I DID NOT NEED TO CATCH YOUR BODY I JUST NEEDED YOUR MOUTH TO LET ME THROUGH [transition] [singer B] There’s blood on the floor beneath the trees, A black crow screaming off the land. He dragged an axe across the ground, And somehow… he had come for me. He walked away from side to side, With broken legs beneath his cloak. His crimson eyes remained upon me, While every breath I took felt cold. Rain became the scream I used to hate, Silence became the fear. Every time the night returns, I felt that it was near. [transition] [singer A] NOW KEEP THE SAME DISTANCE NOW KEEP THEM ON THE BEAT NOW SAY IT LIKE I SAID IT Don’t turn around yet. [transition] [singer B] I closed my eyes beneath the covers... But the darkness followed me. I was only just a child... and something wanted part of me. [singer A] Don’t turn around yet. Don’t—
