Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I lock the door and step outside, The street feels thinner than before. A sound behind me breaks the calm, And I don’t question it anymore. I stop once, let the silence lean, My pulse is loud, my thoughts are clear. Someone stepped out of the dark— And now he’s standing near. ⸻ Verse 2 It’s a quarter mile, I know it blind, I’ve walked this stretch a hundred nights. But every step feels measured now, Like I’m drawing lines with light. Then footsteps fall where mine just were, Too steady now to be a guess. I don’t look back, I don’t rush home— I give him nothing less. ⸻ Pre-Chorus The streetlight tells me what he is. No fear left to name. ⸻ Chorus I know those eyes, I know that stare, I know the story in his head. He thinks the dark already chose, Thinks tonight’s already said. He thinks I’m cornered, thinks I’m done, Thinks silence means I’m weak. But every step I take tonight Is leading where I need. ⸻ Verse 3 I cross the threshold, slow my pace, Leave the door the way it stands. No sudden moves, no wasted sound, Everything goes to plan. I take my place where shadows wait, Let the hallway hold its breath. He steps inside, the lock stays still— That’s when the night goes deaf. ⸻ Final Chorus I know those eyes, I know that face, I know exactly why he came. He’s done this before, just not tonight, Not ending it the same. He thought the dark was on his side, Thought fear would make me bend. But some doors open only once— And this is where it ends. ⸻ Outro One shot breaks the silence clean. The stranger hits the floor. A Colt .44, a still, dark room— And he’s not getting up anymore.
