Shadow Behind the Door

[Intro – whispered, eerie] Hush now… Don’t make a sound… It’s closer than it was before… ⸻ [Verse 1] Night falls with a silent roar Heartbeat echo on the cold floor Windows shake, the shadows bend You said it’s safe — but it’s back again Steel boots in the hallway creep It doesn’t wait ‘til you’re asleep Face the dark or shut your eyes Either way — it’s time to rise ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Lock the door, but it won’t hold Truth gets louder when it’s told ⸻ [Chorus] There’s a shadow behind the door Whispers crawling through the floor Can’t run, can’t pray it clean You’re not safe inside your dream (Hey!) You breathe, it hears, it knows your name You’ll never wake up the same There’s a shadow behind the door… ⸻ [Verse 2] Walls drip with voices past You blink — it’s moving fast Lullabies become a scream Nothing’s ever what it seems Chains rattle where none were hung A warning bell already rung Your candle’s out, your pulse is thin The nightmare’s where the truth begins ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes, but see it more What the hell are you fighting for? ⸻ [Chorus] There’s a shadow behind the door Whispers crawling through the floor Can’t run, can’t pray it clean You’re not safe inside your dream (Hey!) You breathe, it hears, it knows your name You’ll never wake up the same There’s a shadow behind the door… ⸻ [Bridge – whispered/growled layering] (Sleep tight…) (It feeds…) (Your fear…) (It breathes…) (You’re mine…) (Too late…) (Don’t hide…) (Embrace your fate!) ⸻ [Final Chorus – full growl + clean double vocal] There’s a shadow behind the door Whispers screaming even more Can’t fight what lives inside Welcome to the darker side (Hey!) You breathe, it hears, it owns your name You’ll never wake up the same There’s a shadow… behind… the door…
