[INTRO — DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN, LOW AND SINISTER] You remember Don? The husband. The photographer. The man who walked into that house holding his wife's hand... He walked in as a man. He walked out as something else. See... That's the thing about possession. It doesn't always take your body first. Sometimes... It takes your mind. [LOW LAUGH] Let me tell you what happened. [VERSE 1] Don came through the doorway with Adrienne at his side, Two people chasing dreams with nowhere left to hide. He saw an old mansion. She saw a story to write. Neither one could see what was waiting that night. He loved her once. Yeah, I won't lie. But something watched him from the other side. Ancient hands reaching through the walls of the past, Waiting for a weakness. Waiting for the mask to crack. A hidden little secret. A door that shouldn't turn. A history of madness and a demon that still burned. Adrienne found the darkness. She pulled the past into light. And something that was sleeping... Finally opened its eyes. [PRE-CHORUS] At first it whispered... Then it called his name. At first he changed a little... Then he wasn't the same. [CHORUS] THERE'S A MAN BEHIND HER EYES, BUT SHE CAN'T RECOGNIZE HIS FACE! THE ONE SHE LOVES IS STILL IN THERE, BURIED SOMEWHERE IN THE WASTE! DON'T LOOK INTO HIS EYES! DON'T BELIEVE THAT SMILE! THE THING THAT WEARS HIS BODY HAS BEEN WAITING ALL THIS WHILE! THE MAN BEHIND HER EYES... ISN'T THE MAN SHE MARRIED. [VERSE 2] His temper started burning. His kindness turned to rage. The man who used to love her became a prisoner in a cage. Something darker moved inside him. Something ancient took control. And every little piece of Don started disappearing from his soul. Adrienne saw the changes. She tried to understand. But evil doesn't need permission when it's already got your man. The house became a prison. The marriage became fear. And every time she looked at him, the monster felt more near. [DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN] And here's the cruel part... She kept hoping he'd come back. Hahahaha... Because sometimes love makes you stand beside the thing that's destroying you. [BREAKDOWN] DON! Can you hear her? She's calling your name! DON! Are you still in there? ... Nothing. Just the demon. [HEAVY INDUSTRIAL RIFF] [VERSE 3] The photographs remember what the living try to hide. A smile frozen in a picture from the man he was inside. But pictures can't protect you. Memories can't fight. When something from the darkness comes crawling through the light. The mansion feeds the madness. The demon feeds the pain. And Don becomes a weapon with his humanity restrained. Adrienne runs from the nightmare, but the nightmare wears his face. The husband that she came with has been swallowed by the place. [CHORUS] THERE'S A MAN BEHIND HER EYES, BUT SHE CAN'T RECOGNIZE HIS FACE! THE ONE SHE LOVES IS STILL IN THERE, BURIED SOMEWHERE IN THE WASTE! DON'T LOOK INTO HIS EYES! DON'T BELIEVE THAT SMILE! THE THING THAT WEARS HIS BODY HAS BEEN WAITING ALL THIS WHILE! THE MAN BEHIND HER EYES... ISN'T THE MAN SHE MARRIED. [BRIDGE — QUIET, MENACING] You wanna know what scares me? Not the demon. Not the mansion. Not even the dead. It's watching someone you love become something you don't know... while some tiny piece of them might still be trapped inside. [PAUSE] Because then you don't know if you're fighting a monster... or trying to save the man you remember. [FINAL VERSE] So Don chased her through the corridors, the house alive with screams. Adrienne running from a nightmare that once lived inside her dreams. The man she loved was gone... Or maybe barely hanging on. And every step she took was another step toward the end. The mansion had its victim. The demon had its prize. And Don became the final shadow standing in Adrienne's eyes. But every nightmare has a moment when the hunted turns around... And sometimes... the only way to end it... is to bring the monster down. [FINAL CHORUS — HUGE] THERE'S A MAN BEHIND HER EYES, BUT SHE CAN'T RECOGNIZE HIS FACE! THE ONE SHE LOVED IS LOST INSIDE, THE DEMON'S TAKEN HIS PLACE! NO MORE RUNNING! NO MORE LIES! NO MORE HIDING IN THE NIGHT! SHE HAS TO FACE THE THING HE'S BECOME... AND FIGHT! THE MAN BEHIND HER EYES... THE MAN SHE COULDN'T SAVE... THE MAN THE HOUSE TOOK AWAY. [OUTRO — DJ_DEVIL_DEATH — SPOKEN] And that's the tragedy of Don. He didn't enter that house as a monster. He entered it as a husband. Remember that... Because we're not finished yet. Not even close. Hahahahaha... The house still remembers the wives. And now... I'll tell you their story.
