Lyrics
Intro
(whispered, distant, dark ambient)
don’t lose count...
don’t lose count...
Verse 1
Cold hands dragging down the hall
No reflection on the wall
Every step I take feels staged
Like I’ve lived here, locked in place
They don’t look me in the eyes
Write me down, adjust the lies
Every word I try to say
Turns to something else halfway
Pre-Chorus
Count it back, don’t let it slip
Numbers scratching at my lips
If I lose it, it begins
If I stop — it pulls me in
Chorus
Ten more seconds till I fade
Nine more lies they tried to save
Eight more voices left to kill
Seven say I’m breathing still
Six feet under skin so thin
Five won’t let me start again
No more numbers left to clean —
Patient 13
Verse 2
Mirrors showing different teeth
Something smiling back at me
Moves before I even try
Knows exactly when I lie
Fingers twitch without command
Writing things I don’t understand
Every line repeats again
Like it’s learning how I end
Pre-Chorus
Losing track of what is mine
Every second out of time
If I’m still here, prove it true
Why’s it counting more than you?
Chorus
Ten more seconds till I fade
Nine more lies they tried to save
Eight more voices left to kill
Seven say I’m breathing still
Six feet under skin so thin
Five won’t let me start again
No more numbers left to clean —
Patient 13
Breakdown
Cut the count — it won’t reset
Every number = regret
Peel me back — nothing’s there
Just a voice I couldn’t tear
WHO’S INSIDE?
(no reply)
WHY WON’T IT DIE?
It already did...
Bridge
(clean, empty, haunting)
There was never thirteen walls
Never any voice that calls
No one coming, no release
Just a loop that doesn’t cease
I was counting to pretend
There was something at the end
Final Chorus
Ten more seconds till I fade
Nine more lies they tried to save
Eight more voices left to kill
Seven say I’m breathing still
Six feet under skin so thin
Five won’t let me start again
No more numbers left to clean —
Patient 13
Outro
(glitchy whisper, fading)
four... three... two...
(pause)
still here...
Patient...
Patient...
Patient 13...
