Curiosity’s Curse

Curiosity’s Curse
(Verse 1)
Slipped through the doorway, the air was still,
Chasing a whisper, a shadow at will.
Eyes like lanterns, glowing bright,
Drawn to the darkness, swallowed by night.
(Verse 2)
A flicker, a rustle, a sound in the floor,
Something was waiting behind that door.
Paws on marble, heartbeat slow,
Nowhere to run, but I had to know…
(Chorus)
Curiosity’s curse, pullin’ me in,
One more step and the walls start to spin.
I should turn back, I should let it go,
But something’s callin’—and I gotta know.
(Verse 3)
Mirror reflections that don’t match mine,
A voice in the attic hums in time.
Footsteps echo where none should be,
A lock clicks shut, but I hold the key.
(Bridge – eerie guitar solo, haunting whispers in the background)
(Verse 4)
The deeper I wander, the less I see,
The more I question, the less I’m free.
Nine lives lost in a house of glass,
If I step forward, will I come back?
(Chorus – bigger, almost desperate)
Curiosity’s curse, pullin’ me in,
One more step and the walls start to spin.
I should turn back, I should let it go,
But something’s callin’—and I gotta know.
(Outro – soft, whispery, fading into darkness)
Doorway’s gone, no way out,
Echoes linger, filled with doubt.
A lesson learned? Or just my fate?
I asked the question… now it’s too late.
