Something in the room...

[INTRO] Don't turn on the light. You heard it, too. That little sound behind you. No... Don't look. It's waiting for you to move. [VERSE 1] There's a shape in the corner that wasn't there before, A shadow that grows when you stare at the door. The house settles slowly, the pipes start to moan, And something is breathing where you're sleeping alone. You tell yourself stories of why you're afraid, The tricks of the darkness, the games that it plays. But why does the silence feel suddenly wrong? And has that shadow been there all along? [PRE-CHORUS] You lock every window. You bolt every door. You check all the places You've checked twice before. You laugh at yourself. You tell yourself lies. Then something whispers... "I know you're awake." [CHORUS] SOMETHING IS IN THE ROOM! SOMETHING IS WATCHING YOU! Something that knows every nightmare you hide, Something that waits on the wrong side of your eyes! YOU CANNOT RUN! YOU CANNOT HIDE! YOU CANNOT KEEP IT OUTSIDE! Something is in the room... AND IT'S STANDING BEHIND YOU! [VERSE 2 ] You grab for your phone, but the screen won't ignite. The clock says eleven. It's been eleven all night. Your footsteps sound distant. Your heartbeat sounds strange. The hallway is longer than it was yesterday. You call out a name, but your voice isn't yours. Something answers softly from behind the closed doors. You remember the childhood thing underneath The bed where you hid when you couldn't sleep. You thought you'd forgotten. You thought it had passed. IT REMEMBERS YOU. [PRE-CHORUS ] The floorboards are creaking. The walls start to bend. You hear your own laughter From the hallway's end. Something is whispering... "I've missed you tonight." Something is in the room... AND IT'S LEARNING TO LOOK LIKE YOU! [BRIDGE] Maybe it's hungry. Maybe it's cold. Maybe it's something That never grows old. A scrape in the kitchen. A creak on the stair. A whisper that follows you everywhere. You shut your eyes tight. You pray for the dawn. But the dark doesn't leave When the night is gone. [BREAKDOWN] Look at the mirror. Look at your face. Look at the eyes That are staring in place. Something is wrong. Something has changed. Your reflection is smiling. YOU AREN'T. [FINAL VERSE] You raise your right hand. It raises its left. You hold your breath. It has nothing left. You lean toward the glass. It leans toward you. The face in the mirror Is wearing your skin. But something is looking Out from within. You try to step back. It doesn't retreat. Its smile grows wider. Its eyes never blink. Then it speaks with your voice: "You've been looking for monsters Since you were young." "Under the bed. Behind every door. Out in the darkness. On the other side of the floor." "You searched every shadow. You feared what you'd see." "But the thing that you're afraid of..." "...IS THE THING LOOKING BACK AT ME." [FINAL CHORUS] SOMETHING IS IN THE ROOM! SOMETHING IS WATCHING YOU! Something that knows every secret you keep, Something that waits while you lie down to sleep! Something is in the room... Something has always been near... Something is breathing... Don't turn on the light. You heard it, too. That little sound behind you. No... Don't look. It's you.
