Eyes in the Walls

[Intro: silence, metallic footsteps, then sudden frequency glitch] Silence... only the hum of the wires. Hear that? It's not the echo of steps. In the crosshairs of cold, distant lights — A hundred faces without shadows. [Verse 1: tense rhythm, staccato strings] A turn of the head — synchronous, like a beat. You're not alone, you're stuck in their street. They breathe in a chorus, they share one pulse, Your fear is the fuel, the incoming impulse. Don't look in their pupils — there's bottomless dark, A web that has tied every limb to a spark. [Chorus: voice intensifies, layered harmonies (choir)] Eyes in the walls, a gaze everywhere, They see your light in the dead, cold air. If one of them sees you — they all will know, Run, but they're already here, in your skull's echo. Eyes in the walls, a thousand retinas wide, You're just a stain on our collective sight. Don't hide — we feel the current in the lines, You're already inside. [Verse 2: rhythm breaks, glitches added] You fire your rounds, but they pass right through, They're just a projection, a digital view. Their thoughts flow through pipes like a gas leak, Each breath that you take is a command that we speak. You're looking for Juan, but you hear through the hum: We've overwritten his brain, he's become. Now he sings in unison with the dead, Join us, become the wall instead. [Chorus 2: choir louder, "swarm" effect] Eyes in the walls, a gaze everywhere, They see your light in the dead, cold air. If one of them sees you — they all will know, Run, but they're already here, in your skull's echo. Eyes in the walls, a thousand retinas wide, You're just a stain on our collective sight. Don't hide — we feel the current in the lines, You're already inside. [Bridge: instruments drop, only binaural whispers panning left-right] One look... One move... We are the net. You are its loop. Can you hear our voice? It's coming from your chest... You are no longer alone... You are already possessed... [Outro: static rises, then abrupt cut and sound of shattering glass] Eyes in the walls... Eyes... ...gone.
