Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [low hum, distant growls] They’re awake Underneath my tongue Hear that scratch Yeah, the dark things come [Verse 1] Teeth on the edge of my thoughts They crawl up the back of my neck Every little fear that I lost Came home, came home to collect I taste rust when they’re talking (ha) they know every secret I hide Every sin that I buried in daylight Dances naked in the back of my mind [Pre-Chorus] I feel claws in the crawlspace Hot breath on my name Tried praying to a blank sky But something else came [Chorus] Dark things came to play In my head, in my veins Hear the demonic growls Devilish laughs in the haze They say “you’re ours today” Drag me down, make me stay I locked the door, they burned it away Dark things came to play [Verse 2] Words drip thick like venom Spit fire on the walls of my skull Every “you’re not enough” that I swallowed Now they’re lining ’em up, locked and loaded and full They wear my face when they’re grinning Flip my memories, twist every frame Turn my bedroom to a war zone Every heartbeat spelling my name [Pre-Chorus] I feel nails on the mirror Cold breath on my faith Tried running from the wreckage But they kept my shape [Chorus] Dark things came to play In my head, in my veins Hear the demonic growls Devilish laughs in the haze They say “you’re ours today” Drag me down, make me stay I locked the door, they burned it away Dark things came to play [Bridge] (ha… ha… HA) [beat drops, whisper-rap] They chant in a circle, circle Round my doubts like prey Every shadow getting purple Till the color drains away You wanna see my halo? It’s buried in the floor Every time I reach for heaven They pull me through the trapdoor [guttural growl] You called the dark Now the dark calls back You crossed that line Now there’s no way back [Chorus] Dark things came to play In my head, in my veins Hear the demonic growls Devilish laughs in the haze They say “you’re ours today” Drag me down, make me stay I locked the door, they burned it away Dark things came to play [Outro] [distorted laughs fading] They don’t leave They just wait In the cracks For the next mistake

rap, Hybrid alt/nu-metal with rap-rock verses and electronic rock textures; low-tuned guitars in drop tuning, gritty synth bass, glitchy risers, and stuttered vocal chops. Verses lean on rhythmic, half-rapped male vocals with whispered doubles and distant demonic growls tucked in the sides; choruses explode with screamed hooks, wide distorted guitars, and pounding tom-heavy drums. Bridge dives into an industrial, almost EDM-style breakdown with filtered kicks, devilish laughter FX, then slams back into the final chorus at full intensity., alternative rock, nu metal, rap rock, rock, electronic
