RIGHT BEHIND U

Letra

[Intro - whispered, heavy breathing, low drone] Did you hear that? It's gettin' closer... (right behind you...) [Hook - sung, haunting, layered harmonies] Don't turn around, don't make a sound It's in the walls, it's underground You held her hand, you held your breath But it was right behind you all along Stay back, stay back It's already here Right behind you, right behind you [Verse 1 - rap, whispered-tense, sparse hats] Basement hallway, wooden beams, dust on the floor Two copper heads in the dark, can't find the door Clothes on the walls hangin' like they waitin' for a body Heartbeat loud enough to wake up everybody "Did you hear that?" "Nah, it's just the house" But the house don't breathe, and the house don't shout Every step they take, somethin' else take two Shadow got a face, and the face got you [Pre-Hook - sung, rising, strings tightening] And the lights flicker once And the air turns cold And the silence gets loud Right before it shows [Beat Switch / DROP - boom, then slow-motion half-time 808] NO, STAY BACK (boom) Black mask, no eyes, lace on its arms Reachin' out slow like it's sound the alarm Screamin' with no noise, frozen in place Last thing you see is that broken face [Hook - sung, slowed, distorted, layered] Don't turn around, don't make a sound It's in the walls, it's underground You held her hand, you held your breath But it was right behind you all along Stay back, stay back It's already here Right behind you, right behind you [Bridge - sung, whisper-close, stripped] Maybe it's a monster Maybe it's your past Maybe it's the thing you swore You'd never let come back [Outro - whispered, drone swelling, then cut] Closer... Closer... (it's right behind you) [End]
