Room 103

[Intro – Creaking Strings + Slow Piano + Whispered Voices]
	[—> Music box piano melody (F# minor) plays softly]
	[—> Whispers build in both ears] “Don’t close the door… unless you’re ready.”
	[—> A deep monotone voice]
“Welcome to Room 103. You’ll be staying… forever.”
[→ BANG. Violins stab]
[→ Drop-tuned guitars hit with violent force]
[→ Thunderous tom rolls kick in as Verse 1 explodes]
⸻
[Verse 1 – Spoken-Word Cadence + Creeping Riff]
The key was warm when I picked it up
No staff. No guests. Just the scent of dust
The hallway blinked when I stepped inside
And the door behind me whispered, “Hide.”
The mirror moved but I stood still
Saw my breath on the window sill
The floorboards groaned like they were fed
And something laughed inside my head
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Clean Melodic Build]
I closed my eyes but not my fear
I left the world, but stayed in here
The room remembers every guest—
And sings them all to haunted rest
⸻
[Chorus – Anthemic + Theatrical]
Now I sleep beneath the floor
With all who stayed in 103 before
The walls have mouths, the lights can see
The voice you hear?
That used to be me
I knock at night with someone else’s hand
This is my grave
But I still stand
⸻
[Verse 2 – Expanded with Possession Imagery]
There’s writing now that wasn’t there
Above the bed, it says: “Beware.”
But every time I try to scream—
It sounds like someone else’s dream
The phone rings once, then bleeds a tone
A lullaby in monotone
The mattress hums. The lightbulbs cry.
I’m not alone. But who am I?
⸻
[Pre-Breakdown Scene – Cinematic Spoken Word + Rising Drums]
[Male voice]
“Do not answer the knock.”
“Do not face the mirror.”
“Do not look beneath the bed…”
“…because that’s where you’ll find yourself.”
[→ Drums build like a funeral march]
[→ Strings shriek]
[→ ALL CRASHES INTO THE BREAKDOWN]
⸻
[Breakdown – Ice Nine Kills Style: Orchestral + Brutal]
BANG THE FLOOR—LET THE DEMONS IN!
TEAR MY FACE AND WEAR MY SKIN!
EVERY WORD I SCREAM IS A SCRIPT I READ!
THIS ISN’T A ROOM—IT’S WHAT YOU BLEED!
[→ Strings stab in sync with breakdown]
[→ Screamed layers] (“Check in. Break skin. Begin again.”)
[→ Full orchestral crash under final guttural scream]
⸻
[Bridge – Soft Melody + Childlike Choir Contrast]
[Clean male]
Room service never came that day…
But something tucked me in anyway.
[Child choir layered]
“Go to sleep, close your eyes…”
“One more soul, one more lie…”
[→ Choir fades into reversed whispers]
⸻
[Final Chorus – Bigger, Choir Behind, More Violent]
Now I sleep beneath the floor
With all who screamed in 103 before
The ceiling weeps, the windows sing
I’ve become the haunted thing
I knock at night with someone else’s hand
This is my curse
But I still stand
⸻
[Outro – Piano Fade + Final Twist]
	[—> Music box piano plays the melody once more]
	[—> Whispered female voice]
“Check-out time is never.”
	[—> You hear the scream of the next guest faintly behind the wall]
	[—> Final line] (slow, distorted):
“Room 103 is ready… for you.”
