歌詞
Verse 1
Midnight folds around me like a second, colder skin
Every breath a betrayal, pulling the darkness in
Footsteps in the hallway that my own feet never made
The mirror shows a stranger with my eyes but not my soul
He smiles when I’m not looking, he’s been waiting for control
I close them tight, I pray for sleep, but sleep is just a door
And something on the other side is always wanting more
Chorus
I’m scared… God, I’m scared
Of the quiet and the way it stares
Terror, come and hold me close, rock me slow and deep
Sing your velvet funeral song until I fall asleep
I’m scared… Lord, I’m scared
Of the things that love me here
Verse 2
Shadows wear my voice and call me down the stairs
They know the things I buried, they can smell them in the air
My pulse is a traitor, drumming secrets to the night
Every beat says “I’m still here” like a candle begging light
The walls are breathing with me, we’re becoming one
I scream but nothing leaves me, the sound just curls inside
A trapped bird in my ribcage that’s forgotten how to die
Chorus
I’m scared… bone-deep scared
Of the love that terror’s learned to wear
It kisses where the bruises bloom, it strokes my shaking hair
Wraps me in its funeral arms and tells me it’ll always care
I’m scared… always scared
And it feels like home in here
Bridge (half-spoken, raw, almost gospel-soul)
If I make it to the morning… will it wear my face?
Will the sunlight lie and say the night was just a phase?
Or will I carry little pieces of this dark inside my veins
Feeding it my laughter till there’s nothing left to save…
Final Chorus (softer, slower, almost tender)
I’m scared… still so scared
But I’ve learned the shape of its embrace
Terror hums a lullaby in minor chords of grace
Hush now, little broken thing, there’s no safer place
Than the arms of what you fear the most…
When fear is all that stays.
Midnight folds around me like a second, colder skin

I close them tight, I pray for sleep, but sleep is just a door
And something on the other side is always wanting more
Chorus
I’m scared… God, I’m scared
Of the quiet and the way it stares

Of the things that love me here
