Under The Floor
10/18/2025Aria v1
**[Verse 1]**
There's something breathing under the floor,
Scratching slow beneath the boards.
It hums a song I’ve heard before,
But not with words… with cords.
The walls are bleeding shadow-thick,
The mirror’s cracked, my hands don’t stick.
Something in the ceiling grins —
And I swear I see my skin.
---
**[Chorus]**
🎵 *Don’t look back, don’t look down,*
*It’s in the walls, it’s in the sound.*
*Sleep with one eye stitched and sore —*
*It’s coming up from under the floor.*
*Under the floor… under the floor…*
*You locked the door, but not the w*r.*
*It’s crawling up from under the floor.* 🎵
---
**[Verse 2]**
Whispers pour through power lines,
Speaking truths that rot like wine.
Clocks melt back to twelve o’ one,
And the hallway eats the sun.
Photos blink and start to scream,
B***d runs backward in the stream.
The thing that wears my sister’s face
Won’t stop laughing in her place.
---
**[Chorus]**
🎵 *Don’t breathe deep, don’t you dare,*
*It likes the taste of your despair.*
*Fingernails and broken lore —*
*It’s writing names beneath the floor.*
*Under the floor… under the floor…*
*The prayers you said won’t work no more.*
*It’s singing now beneath the floor.* 🎵

**[Bridge – Whispered, building to shriek]**
I heard it say my name last night…
It wore my voice, but not quite right.
I answered back. I let it in.
Now it lives beneath my skin.
It’s cold. It’s close. It’s keeping score.
And still, it waits beneath the floor…
---
**[Final Chorus – Slower, more intense]**
🎵 *Don’t go quiet, don’t go still,*
*The silence bends and breaks your will.*
*The house is hollow, soul and core,*
*And you are part of what’s in the floor…*
*Under the floor… under the floor…*
*You locked the door… but not the w*r…*
*You are the thing beneath the floor.* 🎵
