Beneath the Breathing Darkness

There’s a whisper in the hallway where the shadows twist and bend

Something crawling in the quiet like a warning I can’t end

Every heartbeat feels like footsteps getting closer in the dark

Like a ghost inside the silence trying hard to leave a mark

And I can feel it watching me

Hiding where I cannot see

Beneath the breathing darkness

A fear I can’t contain

Something pulling closer

Calling out my name

Every trembling moment

Breaking through my veins

Beneath the breathing darkness

Nothing feels the same

There’s a coldness on my shoulder like a hand that isn’t there

Every shadow stretching longer as it fills the empty air

Echoes of a memory I never meant to keep

Dragging me to places buried far and dark and deep

And I can feel it watching me

Hiding where I cannot see

Beneath the breathing darkness

A fear I can’t contain

Something pulling closer

Calling out my name

Every trembling moment

Breaking through my veins

Beneath the breathing darkness

Nothing feels the same

If I scream, will it vanish?

If I run, will it chase?

Every fear I tried to banish

Is staring at my face

Beneath the breathing darkness

A fear I can’t contain

Something pulling closer

Calling out my name

Every trembling moment

Breaking through my veins

Beneath the breathing darkness

Nothing feels the same
