[Title: NO INVITATION- By OA] [Intro low, almost a murmur-ad-libs] Don’t knock. They don’t kick doors. They wait. They smile. They ask. [Chorus-HOOK- CHANT ] They need permission, but I guard the door I tried to warn ’em, now I’m ready for war Teeth in the dark, hear ‘em scratchin’ the floor I don’t sleep no more — I’m the night patrol They need permission, but I guard the door Everybody numb, tryna pour out the roar Lost the bed, lost the light, still I stood my ground I ain’t prey no more — I hunt what hunts now [Verse 1] Cold steel table, skin to the air Thought I was finished, laid out there Fear tasted sweet, yeah, they circled slow But death blinked first — I said “not my soul” Sat up quick, felt the shift in the room Same bodies, different doom Something woke that don’t bruise Picked up truth like a weapon — unsheathed it smooth Floating silent, cloaked in unseen Night couldn’t touch me when my mind stayed clean But curiosity whispers sound like truth “One look won’t hurt,” yeah, that’s the ruse [Pre-Chorus] Stepped off the current just to feel the ground Protection fades when you wander around Came back upstairs — nothing there No wings, no bed, just teeth in the air [Chorus - chant like] They need permission, but I guard the door I tried to warn ’em, now I’m ready for war Teeth in the dark, hear ‘em scratchin’ the floor I don’t sleep no more — I’m the night patrol They need permission, but I guard the door Everybody numb, tryna pour out the roar Lost the bed, lost the light, still I stood my ground I ain’t prey no more — I hunt what hunts now [Verse 2] House full of bodies, minds half-gone Red cups, dead eyes, music on I said “lock it down,” they laughed at me Till the roof next door stared back with teeth Four silhouettes in the sodium glow Waiting on a yes they already know All it takes is one “come in,” one shrug One drunk hand on the welcome rug I saw it clear — couldn’t save ‘em all Some people learn when the ceiling falls So I went low where the shadows keep score Basement breathin’, hand on the sword [Bridge slow, menacing] I don’t raise my voice I raise the blade I don’t chase the light I stand where it fades If I bleed for peace So be it — paid Someone gotta stay When the others decay Break (spoken, distorted) They don’t force entry. They wait for weakness. Polite monsters with good manners. [Final Chorus stripped, heavier] They need permission, but I guard the door No prayers left, just rules of war If you invite ‘em, don’t look at me I warned you once — now I swing for keeps They need permission, but I guard the door Heartbeat slow, vision cold No bed, no wings, no higher ground Just me and the dark — and I don’t back down Outro (quiet, chilling) If you hear the knock… ask yourself who taught you to answer. If you want it even darker, we [Outro- SPOKEN deep voice] whispers through the air. Beware of The soul sucking vampires They creep everywhere. Smile in your face nice at first. They have a dark side living beneath the skin
