Invitation Only by Obituary Pending
Invitation Only
Intro
Don’t open.
Don’t ask.
Don’t breathe yet.
Verse 1
I’ve been standing in the doorway of your sleep,
Not inside, not gone—just where the shadows keep.
Your lock knows my name, but it won’t turn for me,
Every rule’s a razor, every pause is a plea.
Pre-Chorus
I won’t cross the line,
I won’t break the seal.
Say it out loud—
Make it real.
Chorus
I can’t come in unless you say so,
Can’t touch the light you’re trying not to show.
One word lets the whole night through—
Invitation only.
It’s up to you.
Verse 2
Your breath is loud, the house is still,
Walls lean closer, holding their will.
I taste the fear through the wood and the air,
You’re already mine—I’m just not there.
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need force,
I don’t need lies.
Just open your mouth
And choose a side.
Chorus
I can’t come in unless you say so,
Can’t cross the line you already know.
One word lets the whole night through—
Invitation only.
It’s up to you.
Bridge
I’ve waited centuries for softer doors,
For trembling hands and whispered floors.
Freedom’s fragile, say it slow—
Yes is all I need to know.
Break
I’m still outside.
I’m always near.
Final Chorus
I can’t come in unless you say so,
Can’t steal the soul you’re ready to lose.
One breath, one choice, nothing left to undo—
Invitation only.
I’m waiting on you.
