**“GHOST DOWN THE HALL”** **[INTRO — LOW WHISPER]** *(Shhh…)* Long hallway… no lights… Moonlight bleeding through the blinds… Wallpaper peeling off the walls… And something standing at the end… *(DON’T LOOK!)* **[HOOK — AGGRESSIVE CHANT]** **GHOST DOWN THE HALL! — I SEE HIM!** **BLACK FIGURE TALL! — HE’S CREEPIN’!** **LONG SHADOW CRAWL! — FLOOR CREAKIN’!** **RUN, RUN, RUN! — HE’S RIGHT BEHIND!** **GHOST DOWN THE HALL! — NO FACE!** **COLD AIR HIT! — HEART RACE!** **ONE STEP… TWO STEP… — BOOM!** **TURN AROUND — HE FILLED THE ROOM!** **[VERSE 1]** Hallway stretching like it never ends, Flickering bulb buzzing over my head. Old family pictures crooked on the wall, Every painted eye seem like they watching us crawl. Dust floating underneath the pale moon glow, Curtain moving but the windows closed. Floorboards bending underneath my feet, Then a long black shadow crosses the carpet beneath. At the end of the hall — something standing still, Too damn tall, silhouette against the windowsill. No face in the darkness, just a hollow shape, I blink once— **NOW IT'S CLOSER TO MY SPACE!** **[BEAT DROP]** *(BOOM!)* LIGHTS OUT! *(BOOM!)* DOOR SLAM! *(BOOM!)* WHO'S THERE?! My breath turns white in the freezing air, I hear slow footsteps climbing up the stairs. **[HOOK]** **GHOST DOWN THE HALL! — I SEE HIM!** **BLACK FIGURE TALL! — HE’S CREEPIN’!** **LONG SHADOW CRAWL! — FLOOR CREAKIN’!** **RUN, RUN, RUN! — HE’S RIGHT BEHIND!** **[VERSE 2 — RAPID / DARK]** Red light blinking from the smoke detector, Bathroom mirror showing something standing behind ya. I turn around — empty hallway, Turn back — now the figure's halfway. Doors on both sides start opening slow, Cold wind blowing but there's nowhere to go. Wallpaper tears with a scratching sound, Black fingerprints crawling across the walls. Ceiling light swings while the shadows distort, Every single doorway looks like an open portal. His silhouette stretches across the floor, Then the hallway suddenly ain't there no more. **[BREAK — WHISPER]** One step… Two steps… Three steps… *(STOP.)* Why'd the footsteps stop? *(BREATHING BEHIND YOU.)* **[FINAL HOOK — FULL FORCE]** **GHOST DOWN THE HALL! — I SEE HIM!** **BLACK FIGURE TALL! — HE’S CREEPIN’!** **LIGHTS CUT OFF! — HEART BEATIN’!** **RUN, RUN, RUN! — HE’S RIGHT BEHIND!** **GHOST DOWN THE HALL! — NO FACE!** **LONG BLACK SHADOW — NO TRACE!** **HALLWAY DEAD! — HOUSE GONE COLD!** **HE'S GETTING CLOSE—** **DON'T LOOK BACK!**
