  3. Whisper in the Wall

Whisper in the Wall

The hourglass spills dust of bone
A voice not yours, but one you’ve known
The face in the mirror starts to slide
Eyes gone hollow where you hide
It seeps and creeps along the crack
A winding path that won’t lead back
Don’t look now, you’re not alone
It wears your shape, it steals your tone
A perfect lie behind your eyes
A shadow dressed in your disguise
Whisper in the wall, we crawl beneath your skin
Call you from the quiet where the dark begins
Watching from the stair with eyes you used to know
We stroke your flesh when you let go
We wear your memories like a silken shroud
We speak your name first soft, then loud
We are the whisper... in the wall
A nursery rhyme with broken teeth
A puppet bound beneath the sheath
Of floorboards warped by whispered breath
Where roots take hold and drink your death
They mouth your fears, they breathe your name
And feed the thing you never tamed
Don’t turn around, it feels you grin
And beckons you to step within
To dance a waltz with phantom grace
Bare feet burning in its place
Whisper in the wall, we crawl beneath your skin
Call you from the quiet where the dark begins
Watching from the stair with eyes you used to know
We stroke your flesh when you let go
We wear your memories like a silken shroud
We speak your name first soft, then loud
We are the whisper... in the wall
This isn 't a dream you can break apart
It's the sound of us undoing your heart
The glass that cracks beyond repair
And wakes the ghost that’s always there
We are the whisper in the wall
Crawling through the cracks that call
Watching from the stair so still
We stroke your skin against your will
We wear your memories like a silken shroud
We scream your name both soft and loud
We are the whisper... in the wall
We are the whisper... in the wall
We are the whisper... and now you are too..
One more step... behind the door..
You’re home now... forevermore..
Join the chorus... sing your part..
We’re already in your heart
