[Verse 1 — Male Voice, Menacing]

Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly
Step inside—don’t be shy, everybody's got to die
I savor the fear when you try to hide
I'll give you a head start—run, but be wise
This is my dominion, my twisted domain
A world where sanity and shadows are the same
Welcome to the backrooms, you're deep in the gloom
Wander too far, and this chamber becomes your tomb

---

[Chorus 1 — Both Voices (Male Lead)]

 Malfunctioning lights flicker and fade
Through walls of yellow where memories decay
Sticky, moldy carpet swallows your sound
Every step you take—marked on haunted ground
You're my prey—I stalk, I spy
In this endless maze, you'll scream, you'll die
A cat-and-mouse game with no escape
This is my house, and you've sealed your fate
These are the backrooms—no dream, no costume
In this circle of hell, your soul, I consume

---

[Hook — Both Voices Alternating, Urgent]

Find the flashlight—stay out of sight
Avoid the grinning face, avoid the night
He’s creeping closer, around every bend
Slender Man’s coming—this is your end
Somebody help me—please, can you hear?
I’m trapped in a nightmare, paralyzed by fear

---

[Verse 2 — Female Voice, Frightened]

How did I get here? Just one curious glance
I fell through the floor—never stood a chance
Why was I nosy? Why’d I touch that door?
Now I see the truth, I can’t ignore
I thought it was fiction—an online tale
But this place is real, and escape will fail
It’s a parallel world, where logic bends
Where the whispers of Slender Man never end

No signal, no hope, I scream alone
My breath fogs the air—my heart turns to stone
I want to go home—but home's far gone
Now I'm part of the myth I stumbled upon

---

[Hook — Both Voices]

Find the flashlight—stay out of sight
Avoid the grinning face, avoid the night
He’s creeping closer, around every bend
Slender Man’s coming—this is your end
Somebody help me—please, can you hear?
I’m trapped in a nightmare, paralyzed by fear

---

[Chorus 2 — Duet (More Dramatic)]

Malfunctioning lights flicker and fade
Through walls of madness your mind will fray
Moldy carpet pulls you deeper down
Each room resets—there’s no way out
You're my prey—I savor your cries
The longer you last, the sweeter your demise
No level, no map, just echoes and screams
This isn’t a dream—it’s worse than it seems
These are the backrooms—your eternal tomb
In this shadow realm, your soul I consume

---

[Outro — Female Whisper, Echoed by Male Voice]

Why did I open that door...? (You belong to me now...)
Why did I come alone...? (There’s no going back...)
Please... I just want to go home...
(Welcome to the backrooms... welcome home.)
