Intro
(The track opens with the sharp, clinical buzz of a fluorescent light bulb flickering to life. A completely clean, mechanical drum beat hits. A high-pitched, childish music box melody plays a cheerful, repetitive loop, but it is instantly warped by a slow, heavy industrial bassline creeping into the low-end.)
Verse 1
No shadows in the corner, no hiding in the dark
You left the bright lights on to leave a safety mark
But safety is a fiction that the architecture made
Because it’s standing in the center where the glare is displayed
Right beneath the ceiling fan, dead under the beam
A silhouette so vivid it shatters every dream
It’s wearing a tailored suit, the posture is polite
But the human skin is stretched a little bit too tight
It isn't shifting weight, it isn't breathing in the room
Just an unblinking stare that operates the doom.
Chorus
(The bassline explodes into a grinding, danceable groove; the background vocals explode into a joyous, manic choir)
Oh, it loves the way you tremble, it loves the way you break!
A smile carved of marble that nothing ever shakes!
It’s a celebration of the panic in your chest
A joyful spectator to a terrifying guest!
It looks almost human, but the malice is so pure
Walking straight toward you, smiling and demure!
Hear the laughter looping in the static of the grid
It’s amused by every single thing you ever did!
Verse 2
The feet begin to slide across the hardwood floor
It doesn't walk or stride, it just glides toward the door
The expression never alters, the eyelids never drop
A wide, ceramic grin that simply will not stop
I throw a heavy glass, it shatters on its chest
It doesn't even flinch, it doesn't manifest an arrest
The liquid stains the fabric but the face remains serene
Like looking at a sculpture or a frozen television screen
It finds my desperation completely entertaining
A high-definition comedy, the terror is sustaining.
Chorus
Oh, it loves the way you tremble, it loves the way you break!
A smile carved of marble that nothing ever shakes!
It’s a celebration of the panic in your chest
A joyful spectator to a terrifying guest!
It looks almost human, but the malice is so pure
Walking straight toward you, smiling and demure!
Hear the laughter looping in the static of the grid
It’s amused by every single thing you ever did!
Bridge
(The heavy drums vanish, leaving only a frantic, synthetic heartbeat pulse. The vocals drop to a tight, breathless whisper right against the microphone)
It’s three feet away. The light is hitting the eye.
There is no pupil dilating, no human reply.
Just a glossy, synthetic reflection of me
Trapped in the center of its manic glee.
It doesn't want to bite. It doesn't want to scream.
It just wants to watch the final collapse of the scheme.
It tilts its head a fraction of an inch to the side...
And the grin gets wider as the worlds collide.
(A massive, wall-of-sound industrial drop hits, filled with distorted synth screams and a relentless, thumping club beat)
Chorus
(The final chorus reaches maximum chaotic energy, layered with overlapping high-pitched giggles and heavy electronic alarms)
Oh, it loves the way you tremble, it loves the way you break!
A smile carved of marble that nothing ever shakes!
It’s a celebration of the panic in your chest
A joyful spectator to a terrifying guest!
It looks almost human, but the malice is so pure
Walking straight toward you, smiling and demure!
Hear the laughter looping in the static of the grid
It’s amused by every single thing you ever did!
Outro
(The aggressive instrumentation cuts out instantly. The only sound left is the quiet, rhythmic hum of the fluorescent light bulb. The footsteps stop directly in front of the listener.)
The room goes completely cold.
The unblinking face is inches from my own.
Then, a soft, perfectly human voice whispers with absolute, cheerful delight:
"Don't stop screaming. I'm having so much fun."
(The track ends with the sharp, loud snap of the light bulb bursting, plunging the audio into dead silence.)
