When the darkness calls…

[Intro – Immediate Hook, low + close] When the darkness calls… Do you answer… or hide? [Drop Chorus – Instant Hit] When the darkness calls, do you answer or hide? Don’t be afraid of the thing inside Let it breathe, let it crawl, let it sharpen your smile You’ve been holding it back for a while Show them teeth they don’t recognize Let ‘em wonder what’s behind your eyes If the monster wakes up tonight— Don’t run… don’t fight… just let it rise [Verse 1 – restrained, psychological] You keep it buried under skin and bone Dress it up like you’re in control Say you’re fine, say you’re clean, say you’ve changed But it’s pacing in the cage Every thought that you never said Every line that you left unsaid Builds a voice that don’t sound like you But it knows your name like truth [Pre-Chorus – tension building] You feel it moving when the room goes still Like a second pulse you can’t kill You can lie, you can lock it away But it’s learning how to stay [Chorus – heavier, more aggressive] When the darkness calls, do you answer or hide? Don’t be afraid of the thing inside Let it breathe, let it crawl, let it sharpen your smile You’ve been holding it back for a while Show them teeth they don’t recognize Let ‘em question what you disguise If the mask starts slipping tonight— Don’t stop… don’t fix… just let it rise [Verse 2 – darker, more personal] You start to like the way it feels Like something in you finally real No more pretending you’re the same No more playing safe There’s a freedom in the fall from grace In the look you can’t erase Not a glitch, not a phase, not a lie— Just the part you kept denied [Pre-Chorus – more intensity] It don’t whisper anymore, it roars Scratching at your locked doors You can run but it’s already in Waiting for you to give in [Bridge – stripped, eerie, almost spoken] Why should you hide it? Why should you care? They only loved you When you weren’t aware So let it show now Let it be seen Not something broken— Something beneath [Final Chorus – full explosion] When the darkness calls, I don’t answer—I’m it Every shadow leads back to this Let it breathe, let it crawl, let it live in the light I’ve been starving it my whole life See that smile they can’t explain Something holy turned profane If the monster’s all that remains— Then I won’t… won’t… stay the same [Outro – quiet, chilling] When the darkness calls… I don’t hide anymore.
