Dead Line

[Intro] [Verse 1] Every day, right in the dead of night, The very same call comes through the line. I pick it up and say, "Hello," But the line goes dead, and the silence is mine. [Pre-Chorus] The hands on the clock freeze in place, Right at three — and never a minute late. And in that moment, my vision fades, A shadow crosses, with no time to wait. [Chorus] Am I losing my mind, or is this an illusion? Is this somebody's game, or a twisted delusion? Who are you, and why do you keep calling me? And why do you never say a word to me? [Post-Chorus] Only static on the line, Only darkness follows behind. I keep repeating, "Hello," again and again, But no answer — just silence remains. [Verse 2] Why does the light keep flickering around, And why does a shadow appear without a sound? And why is it visible only to me, While blood slowly stains my lips for all to see? [Pre-Chorus] The hands on the clock freeze in place, Right at three — and never a minute late. And in that moment, my vision fades, A shadow crosses, with no time to wait. [Chorus] Am I losing my mind, or is this an illusion? Is this somebody's game, or a twisted delusion? Who are you, and why do you keep calling me? And why do you never say a word to me? Only static on the line, Only darkness follows behind. I keep repeating, "Hello," again and again, But no answer — just silence remains. [Bridge] My mind is overloaded, it's ready to explode, Then the phone rings — like I'm falling from the edge. I fall into darkness, feeling nothing at all, But wake up on the doorstep of my own home. [Final Chorus] Am I losing my mind, or is this an illusion? Is this somebody's game, or a twisted delusion? Who are you, and why do you keep calling me? And why do you never say a word to me? Only static on the line, Only darkness follows behind. I keep repeating, "Hello," again and again, But no answer — just silence remains. [Outro] I hang up the phone and toss it aside, Hoping it was just a nightmare I survived. At night I lie back down in bed, But hear the phone ring again instead.
