There's a sound I can't ignore
A creaking hinge an unseen door
The walls breathe slow they seem alive
I feel the shadows multiply
A crack in the mirror a fractured face
A hollow echo a stolen space
I hear a voice it calls my name
But when I answer it sounds the same
The air is heavy the light's too thin
I'm a prisoner in my skin
The strings tighten the whispers rise
A chorus of lies beneath my cries
The silence shifts it drags me near
A voice within becomes my fear
It's the haunting within I can't escape
A shadow forms in every shape
It tears my soul it warps my mind
A waking nightmare I cannot unwind
The footsteps follow but no one's there
A flickering light a hollow stare
The clock is spinning the hours blur
Reality fades I'm unsure
Every shadow hides a scream
A twisted echo of my dream
The strings tighten the whispers rise
A chorus of lies beneath my cries
The silence shifts it drags me near
A voice within becomes my fear
It's the haunting within I can't escape
A shadow forms in every shape
It tears my soul it warps my mind
A waking nightmare I cannot unwind
The room is spinning the ground dissolves
A mind unravelling no resolve
The whispers scream they claw they bite
My shadow grows consuming light
The silence falls but it won't stay
The haunting whispers they'll find their way
No light remains no voice to mend
It's the haunting within-there's no end
