[Intro] [Random metallic pan noises] [Sparse environmental sounds] [Low distorted bass slowly enters] [Dry, irregular percussion] [Long pauses between sounds] [Verse 1] I met a friend the other day He said he'd seen you in the hall He spoke as if he knew you Like he'd been there through it all He smiled when I was looking Then his face was gone again I heard him in the doorway Calling like an old friend [Chorus 1] [Melodic, restrained vocals] [Haunting atmosphere] I hear it in the silence I see it when I blink Something stands behind me Then disappears again [Verse 2] My friend is gone this morning His coat is by the door I don't remember leaving it I've never seen it before Three voices in the hallway One of them sounds like mine They laugh behind the doorway Then disappear each time [Chorus 2] [More intense vocals] [Drums build slightly] I hear it in the silence I see it when I blink Something stands behind me Getting closer every time [Bridge] [Music drops] [Sparse bass and distant percussion] [Almost whispered] I know I heard you I know you called I followed down the hallway But there was nothing there [Long pause] The door was open I never touched it [Build] [Drums gradually intensify] [Distorted guitars build] [Distant layered whispers] Someone is talking... Someone is talking... I turn around... Nothing. [Final Chorus] [Full band] [Maximum intensity] [Desperate melodic vocals] I hear it in the silence I see it when I blink Something stands behind me Getting closer every time I hear it in the silence I see it when I blink But I'm not sure what I think [Outro] [Music slowly collapses] [Distant voices] [Low bass feedback] You were here... [Long silence] I hear you... [Silence]
