Lyrics
Intro
Soft music box melody, slightly out of tune
Whispers fade in and out, like a child's voice humming
Deep breath, quiet footsteps on creaking wood
"Did you hear that? No, no… it’s just the wind…"
Verse 1
Slow, breathy vocals, eerie yet sorrowful
"Rock-a-bye, hush, close your eyes…
Someone left a cradle in the candlelight…
Dust on the floor, shadows on the wall,
Did I leave the door open… or was it ever closed at all?"
"Footsteps echo, but I’m all alone,
Yet I feel someone watching when I check my phone…
Messages from nowhere, numbers I don’t know,
But the words look like mine, from a past long ago."
Chorus
Reverbed, haunting dual vocals, slow and eerie
"Sing me to sleep, but don’t let me dream…
If I wake up, will I still be me?
Soft little hands, cold as the night…
Someone’s still here, but they’re out of sight."
Music box melody returns, slowed down and reversed
Verse 2
Soft whispers layered beneath the vocals, almost speaking
"Cracked porcelain, a doll with no name,
Rocking by itself in the window frame…
A house that remembers, a voice in the halls,
Tiny handprints smeared on the walls."
"The letters I burned, the pictures I tore,
Still show up taped to my bedroom door…
The past doesn’t die, it just waits in the dark,
Humming the tune that once held my heart."
Bridge
Music box fades into silence, only breathing remains
Soft childlike voice whispers
"Why did you leave me?"
Heartbeat sound, gradually increasing
Clock ticking, overlapping whispers
Final Chorus
Melody becomes distorted, vocals layered like ghostly echoes
"Sing me to sleep, but don’t let me dream…
If I wake up, will I still be me?
Soft little hands, cold as the night…
Someone’s still here, but they’re out of sight."
Outro
Music box plays its last notes, winding down
A faint giggle, then silence
Final whisper
"Goodnight…"
