[Intro] I came home for the holidays… the room still smelled like childhood [Verse 1] Unpacked my bags in the old pink room Dolls on the shelf like forgotten perfume One porcelain face I didn’t recall Staring from the bed where the shadows fall I shrugged it off – just tired from the drive Spent the day downstairs, feeling alive Laughter with parents, stories retold But something in the air felt strangely cold [Pre-Chorus] The eyes followed me Or was it just the light? [Chorus] Something's watching from the corner of my bed Something's changing when I turn my head The doll I don’t remember, smiling too wide Something's moving in the silence inside I tell myself it’s nothing, just holiday stress But the room feels smaller with every breath [Verse 2] Shower steam clouds the mirror glass Shadows flicker – too quick to pass I pull the curtain, heart in my throat Nothing there but the water’s note Back in the room, the dolls rearranged The stranger’s face now slightly changed I push them aside to make space for sleep But the darkness feels like it’s starting to creep [Pre-Chorus 2] The smile is wider Or was it always? [Chorus] Something's watching from the corner of my bed Something's changing when I turn my head The doll I don’t remember, smiling too wide Something's moving in the silence inside I tell myself it’s nothing, just holiday stress But the room feels smaller with every breath [Bridge] I wake in the night, the moon too bright The doll stands closer – was she on the right? I blink and she’s gone, or was she ever there My childhood room now filled with air that’s too aware [Final Chorus / Outro] Something's watching – it's at the foot of the bed Something's smiling – inside my head The doll is sitting, porcelain hand on my sheet Eyes wide open… …waiting for me [Outro] …good night
