[Intro]
Haunting hush, a breath at the hinge
A whisper curls the air, a rumor on the skin
[Verse 1]
I stand with a risk I can’t name
The door beyond the frame calls out my name
Promises float like ash in the dark
Escape or oblivion, a spark in my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Curiosity hums, a siren in blue
Self-preservation whispers, “Not you, not you”
[Chorus]
Don’t open what you do not mean to keep
Don’t walk through when the night is all you sleep
But the whisper splits the seal of fear and doubt
If I listen, what am I really about?
[Verse 2]
The lock is a lie that glitters gold
Fear wears a mask that never grows old
I weigh the breath I’d loose from my chest
Against the trespass that flares in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
Curiosity hums, a siren in blue
Self-preservation whispers, “Not you, not you”
[Chorus]
Don’t open what you do not mean to keep
Don’t walk through when the night is all you sleep
But the whisper splits the seal of fear and doubt
If I listen, what am I really about?
[Bridge]
If doors could plead, would I hear a plea
Or a vow to stay who I was meant to be
The hinges sigh, a fork in the road
One step is courage, the other, erode
[Chorus]
Don’t open what you do not mean to keep
Don’t walk through when the night is all you sleep
But the whisper splits the seal of fear and doubt
I choose the dawn, I’m stepping out
[Outro]
The door remains, a rumor in the hall
I walk away, away from the call
