The hallway holds a memory it refuses to explain, A hush so deep and heavy it begins to feel like pain. Faces in the wallpaper shift when you avert your eyes — A subtle, crawling knowledge that the house… remembers lies. Chorus Spin, little spider, spin your midnight thread, Seal the room in whispers, wrap the living and the dead. Hear the darkness breathing, feel it sinking through my skin, When your weaving’s finished… something else steps in. Verse 2 The clock forgets its purpose, its hands begin to sway, As though time itself is nauseous and wants to slip away. A heartbeat not your own begins pacing in the walls, Measured, patient, intimate — a rhythm that enthralls. You sense a watching presence, but it’s not above or near… It’s blooming in your thoughts, feeding gently on your fear. Bridge Beneath the brittle floorboards, beneath the ancient stair, Threads hum like distant lullabies dissolving in the air. Lean close — the house is speaking in a voice both soft and sly, A voice that might have once been yours… before it learned to lie. It croons of gentle safety, of a darkness that forgives, And every word it whispers steals a memory that lives. Chorus Spin, little spider, spin your midnight thread, Seal the room in whispers, wrap the living and the dead. Hear the Darkness– breathing, feel it sinking through my skin, When your weaving’s finished… something else steps in. Outro (Psychological Twist / Vincent Price Flavor) The doorway folds behind you like a curtain drawn with grace, The hallway exhales warmly, as though pleased to see your face. Moonlight hangs suspended, trembling in the web’s design — And then you feel it: a presence standing just behind your spine. You turn — but far too slowly, as the truth begins to spin: The spider wasn’t hunting you… It was guarding what’s within. And now the house grows eager, with a smile you cannot see, For the thing you thought was chasing you has always been yourself… set free.
