Left Alone in Darkness

Lyrics

Intro
Tick in the wall
Tick in the wall
Something learned my name
From inside the pipe

Verse 1
You locked the door with a shaking hand
Left your shoes by the mat
The floor kept score in a rusted chain
Every step came back

Cold little sparks in the panel seam
Blue on the basement tile
I heard a smile in the vent above
Like teeth in a file

Pre-Chorus
Don’t turn around
It’s already there
Breathing your breath
From the empty stair

Don’t make a sound
Don’t let it see
The shape in the dark
That learned to be me

Chorus
Left alone in darkness
Left alone in darkness
You said my name, now I’m here
Left alone in darkness
Left alone in darkness
I live where the walls disappear

Verse 2
You fed the fear with a circuit prayer
Pressed your palm to the stain
Now the mirror keeps a second face
And it wears your pain

Every bolt in the door is loose
Every nail wants out
The house bends low when you pass that room
Like it knows what’s doubt

Pre-Chorus
Don’t turn around
It’s already there
Breathing your breath
From the empty stair

Don’t make a sound
Don’t let it see
The shape in the dark
That learned to be me

Chorus
Left alone in darkness
Left alone in darkness
You said my name, now I’m here
Left alone in darkness
Left alone in darkness
I live where the walls disappear

Verse 3
I wore your voice like a broken glove
Fit tight on my throat
Every word came back jagged and thin
Like a sink full of soot

You tried to pray with a bitten lip
Tried to crawl to the light
But the room kept breathing in over you
And I fed on the fight

Bridge
Whispered
Count the knocks
Count the cracks
Count the things
You can’t bring back

Inhuman Vocals
I am the pause in your pulse
I am the stain in the spark
I am the hand on the hinge
I am the laugh in the dark

Breakdown
Left alone
Left alone
Left alone in darkness
Left alone
Left alone
Left alone in darkness

Outro
No one left to answer
No one left to blame
Only your footsteps fading
And my mouth inside your name
