Cup of Blood

Verse 1
Footsteps echo down the hall,
I can’t tell if they’re mine at all.
Shadows move when I stand still,
A voice inside me wants the kill.

Pre-Chorus
I feel the breath against my skin,
But the monster’s crawling from within.

Chorus
I’m running from the blade in the dark,
From the hunter and the voice in my heart.
Two killers chasing, I can’t tell which is true,
The one in my head or the one that’s you.

Verse 2
Every mirror twists my face,
Every corner—another chase.
I scream but silence eats the sound,
I’m hunted high, I’m hunted down.

Pre-Chorus
The knife is closer than it seems,
Cutting through my fragile dreams.

Chorus
I’m running from the blade in the dark,
From the hunter and the voice in my heart.
Two killers chasing, I can’t tell which is true,
The one in my head or the one that’s you.

Bridge (whispered / broken)
I can’t escape… I can’t escape…
The killer wears my face.
I can’t escape… I can’t escape…
The killer knows my name.

Final Chorus (explosive)
I’m running from the blade in the dark,
From the hunter and the voice in my heart.
Two killers chasing, I can’t tell which is true,
The one in my head or the one that’s you.

Outro (soft, eerie)
If I survive, will I still be me?
Or just the killer I couldn’t see?
