Skinwalker Akiho

[Intro – whispered] He’s closer than you think… [Verse 1] In the forest where the cold wind cries, Silver hunger in his eyes, Branches crack but nothing’s there, Still you feel him in the air. Frozen breath across your neck, Silent pulse you can’t detect, Every shadow starts to bend— Is he foe or is he friend? [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat racing out of time, Something wearing your design, Face to face but something’s wrong— That reflection’s been him all along. [Chorus / Drop Hook] Run, run — he’s under your skin, Lost in the dark where the nightmares begin, Red moon rising, instincts high, You can’t escape, you can’t deny. Run, run — feel him within, Closer than breath, deeper than sin, Shapeshift soul in silver glow, Once he’s inside… he won’t let go. [Drop – chant style] He’s inside. He’s alive. In your bones tonight. Take your face, Take your name, Nothing stays the same. [Verse 2] Takes your voice and speaks it clean, Moves in ways you’ve never seen, Smile sharp like winter frost, You won’t know what you have lost. Every mirror bends and breaks, Every step a shape he takes, When the daylight floods the sky, He’s the reason shadows lie. [Pre-Chorus 2] Closer now, behind your eyes, Truth dissolves in his disguise, Skin to skin, identity thin— That’s the moment he steps in. [Chorus / Drop Hook] Run, run — he’s under your skin, Lost in the dark where the nightmares begin, Red moon rising, instincts high, You can’t escape, you can’t deny. Run, run — feel him within, Closer than breath, deeper than sin, Shapeshift soul in silver glow, Once he’s inside… he won’t let go. [Bridge – atmospheric break] Ancient hunger, borrowed face, Moving through the human race, You don’t see him — that’s the art, He was with you from the start. (whisper) He is the echo… He is the twin… He is the thing beneath your skin… [Final Drop – darker / heavier] No more running, No more light, He becomes you in the night. Skin and shadow intertwined— Leave your former self behind.
