[Silence]
[Instrumental – Low Synth Drone, Heartbeat Kick, Echo Guitar Harmonics]
[Intro]
[Whispered Vocals, Reverb Heavy]
(Quick!)
Did you see it…
Or did it see you…
(Whatcha gonna do?)
[Beat Drops – Tight Drums, Pulsing Bass]
[Verse 1]
You froze mid-step, eyes wide open
Like a word that’s never spoken
Shadows shifting out of place
Something moving with no face
Air went cold, the sound cut thin
Like it slipped beneath your skin
Tried to laugh it off, but no—
Something there you didn’t know
[Pre-Chorus]
Every nerve begins to light
(Every instinct says don’t fight)
But you’re caught inside the stare
(Of something that was never there)
[Chorus]
You look like
You’ve seen a (ghost)
Crowd strike
Gonna make the (most)
Heart spikes
(Yikes!)
Sure you want to (boast?)
[Instrumental Break – Echo Guitar, Glitch Effects, Driving Beat]
[Verse 2]
Room’s the same but something’s off
Quiet pressed, a hollow cough
Mirrors don’t reflect quite right
Edges blur in broken light
Footsteps fall with no one near
Breathing close beside your ear
Every second stretching long
Like reality’s gone wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to turn and walk away
(But it’s closer than before you say)
Every doubt begins to fade
(As the fear begins to take its shape)
[Bridge]
It never fails
(You turned so pale)
Every story leaves a trail
(You can’t derail)
What you thought was just a tale
(Now prevails…)
[Breakdown – Minimal Beat, Whispered Layers]
Was it real…
(Was it you…)
Did it follow…
(Or break through…)
[Final Chorus – Full Energy, Layered Vocals, Heavy Drums]
You look like
You’ve seen a (ghost)
Crowd strike
Gonna make the (most)
Heart spikes
(Yikes!)
Burn in hell where all (roast?)
You look like
You’ve seen a (ghost)
No disguise
Left to oppose
Now your eyes
Tell it the most—
You don’t doubt it anymore…
(No, not like before)
[Outro]
[Slow Fade – Wind, Soft Piano, Distant Echo]
You saw something…
Or something saw you…
(Whatcha gonna do?)
[Silence]
