[Intro — whisper] [SFX: rain] [SFX: distant thunder] [SFX: clock ticking] Someone is knocking. [Knock] Three times. [Knock] [Knock] I don't know who's outside. [long pause] And I'm not going to open the door. [SFX: another knock] [whisper] They're knocking again. [Verse 1] The hallway light is flickering, The house is getting cold, I hear somebody walking, But nobody's home. [SFX: slow footsteps] One step. [footstep] Two steps. [footstep] Three steps. [footstep] They're getting closer. [SFX: floorboard creaks] [whisper] Don't make a sound. [SFX: heartbeat] I can hear them breathing. [Chorus] Who's knocking at my door? Who's walking down the hall? I hear a voice outside, But nobody should be here at all. [SFX: three knocks] Don't open it. Don't look outside. Just stay quiet. [Verse 2] [SFX: door handle rattles] The handle starts to move. [short pause] The lock is holding. [SFX: lock clicks] For now. [SFX: footsteps move away] They're leaving. [long pause] Wait... [SFX: footsteps stop] No. They're coming back. [SFX: faster footsteps] Closer. Closer. Closer. [SFX: heavy breathing outside door] [whisper] They're standing right there. [Bridge — very quiet] [SFX: radio static] I hear a voice through the door. [whispered voice] "Let me in." [short pause] I know that voice. [long pause] It's mine. [SFX: distorted whisper repeats] [Final Build] [SFX: heartbeat louder] The lights go out. [SFX: electrical pop] The hallway goes silent. [Silence] [SFX: single knock behind narrator] ... I wasn't looking at the door. [whisper] Someone is behind me. [SFX: slow breathing] I can feel them standing there. [long pause] [SFX: floorboard creaks] They're moving closer. [SFX: one slow step] Closer. [SFX: another step] Closer. [SFX: another step] [whisper] Don't turn around. [long pause] [SFX: sudden loud knock] [Silence] [barely audible] They're not outside anymore. [short pause] They're in here. [SFX: three soft knocks] [END]
