I LIVE IN THE WALLS NOW - (Venezia & Hallowen Challenge)

[Intro: Distant Ethereal Choir humming, layered whispers panned left and right] shhh... shhh... she left the kettle on... (we never left) (we never left) [Verse 1: Lead - fragile female, close mic, trembling, whispered] I died with the kettle still screaming, And the wallpaper learned my name. I folded my skin, put it in the kitchen drawer, Now I live in the crack between picture frames. [Pre-Chorus: Dissonant Female Choir + Male Bass Drone] Ooo - don't look - Ooo - behind the paint I am wearing your hallway like a coat! [Chorus: All voices, detuned, overlapping, chaotic, childlike and terrifying] I LIVE! IN! THE! WALLS! NOW! Counting your blinks! Counting your socks! I ate the clock! So time would stop! Tick tock tick - NO TOCK! [Verse 2: Whispered, fast, mad, mouth percussion clicks] Mister Lightbulb buzzes my teeth, Mrs. Mirror keeps me twice, I drink the cold from under the door, I have too many eyes, too many eyes! [Bridge: Possessed Lullaby, child voice + reversed whispers, ethereal ooo choir] Hush little house, your ghost is awake, The floorboards remember every ache, If you hum my name I’ll hum it wrong, La la la la la la GONE. [Breakdown: All voices stop except breathing and throat singing drone, then layered screams as harmonies] [Breathing Choir: ha - ha - ha] [Throat Drone: Mmmmmmm] [Ethereal Choir distant: We are still here in the plaster] [Outro: Whispered, fading, layered 20 feet away] I never left... I just learned to be... thin... shhh... keep the kettle on...
