[Intro — Distant Whisper] You left a key beneath the stone, A little map to what we’ve known. The house is listening through the rain, And every lock repeats your name. [Verse 1] I found your coat behind the stairs, Cold dust folded in the seams. A silver thread was caught there, Tugging hard against my dreams. The kitchen clock has lost an hour, Its hands refuse to turn. I read the note beside the flour: “Come back before the candles burn.” [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, are you past the gate? Tell me, did I come too late? If the room remembers me, Why won’t it let me leave? [Chorus] I will cross the hollow hallway, I will follow every sound. If you’re buried under silence, I will pull you from the ground. I don’t need a perfect answer, I don’t need the walls to bend. Give me one more sign to hold, Give me one more chance to find you again. [Verse 2] The music box is missing teeth, Still it turns beneath the bed. One crooked note, then underneath, A child’s red ribbon stained with red. Your photograph has split in two, But both halves face the door. One keeps the shape of you, One shows what you were looking for. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, are you past the gate? Tell me, did I come too late? If the room remembers me, Why won’t it let me leave? [Chorus] I will cross the hollow hallway, I will follow every sound. If you’re buried under silence, I will pull you from the ground. I don’t need a perfect answer, I don’t need the walls to bend. Give me one more sign to hold, Give me one more chance to find you again. [Bridge — Dark Whisper] They said the house was empty. They said the fire took its share. But I heard someone counting softly From the cupboard by the chair. I opened it with shaking hands, And found a room behind the room. Your voice came through the plaster: “You were the one who brought me home.” [Breakdown] Stay near... Don’t turn away... I know the path beneath the floor. Say my name... One more time... I won’t be afraid anymore. [Final Chorus — Cinematic] I will cross the hollow hallway, I will tear the silence down. If you’re buried under winter, I will wake you from the ground. Let the ceiling split above us, Let the old foundation bend. Give me one last sign to hold, Give me one last chance to find you again. [Outro — Broken Music Box] The key is turning... The room is still... Your footsteps fade beyond the hill. [Whisper] I found the door. You were behind me.
