Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Hook Melody Instrumental+eerie violin] ———— [Verse 1] Every painting stares too long Eyes that hum a haunting song Nailed to walls I didn’t build Yet they know the blood I’ve spilled Sleep feels like a ritual A curse, a trap, habitual Hands beneath my skin, they shake Waiting for my mind to break ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Candles flicker with my breath Footsteps dance where silence slept Tell me who’s behind the veil— Or am I what’s left? ⸻ [Chorus] They whisper in the frame Every night they chant my name I try to run, but I’m the flame And they’re the ones who lit the game I see myself, but not the same Eyes are black, my soul’s been claimed So if I sleep and don’t awake— They whisper in my place ⸻ [Verse 2] I heard myself speak backwards slow A voice I swear I didn’t know Scratched a circle on the floor And now they walk straight through the door Glass is cracked but won’t fall through Reflections blink when I don’t move My shadow stands while I sit still I’m possessed by what I killed ⸻ [Breakdown – Screamed Vocals with Drop] This isn’t sleep—this is a cage! The demon wears my face on stage! Twist the flesh, erase my name, Let me rot inside the frame! [Drums slam with dissonant chugs and glitching echo FX] Don’t look now—don’t turn around! You’ll hear the truth without the sound! ⸻ [Bridge – Clean + Screamed Harmony] And if you paint me in your mind… (You bring my ghost to life in time) So don’t describe me, don’t believe… (Or you’ll wake up wearing me) ⸻ [Final Chorus – Choir, Hook Melody, Distorted Layers] They whisper in the frame Every night they chant my name I try to run, but I’m the flame And they’re the ones who lit the game I see myself, but not the same Eyes are black, my soul’s been claimed So if I sleep and don’t awake— They whisper in my place ⸻ [Outro – Spoken Whisper + Melody Return] [Female whisper] “Say your name backward… that’s how it begins.” [Male whisper] “I’m still in the frame… and now so are you.” [Fades out with the original music box melody, warped and slowing like a vinyl dying out]
