Hallways I can't Escape

Verse 1
Carpet red like a bleeding heart,
Lights flicker, shadows pull me apart.
Every door whispers, "Don’t go through,"
But staying still feels deadly too.

Verse 2
Footsteps echo, steady and slow,
Mask in the dark — I already know.
Bodies fall silent in the rooms I pass,
His hands move quick, his blade like glass.

Pre-Chorus
Every exit turns into another floor,
Every answer just becomes one more door.

Chorus
I’m running through hallways I can’t escape,
Every turn just rewrites the shape.
He’s always there, no matter the room,
Breathing my fear like perfume.
I’m not sure if I’m alive or awake,
Trapped in hallways I can’t escape.

Verse 3
Windows won’t open, clocks run wrong,
I’ve been here for years, or maybe not long.
I hear their last breaths as I sprint away,
He leaves them behind like shadows and clay.

Bridge
Silence breaks — he’s right behind,
I can’t outrun my own mind.
Hotel walls just fold and twist,
Every path leads back to his fist.

Chorus
I’m running through hallways I can’t escape,
Every turn just rewrites the shape.
He’s always there, no matter the room,
Breathing my fear like perfume.
I’m not sure if I’m alive or awake,
Trapped in hallways I can’t escape.

Outro (Spoken, echoing)
I’ve seen him before…
Every night he finds me…
And I don’t know if I’ll ever wake up.
