You Can Only Hide

Lights flicker — bitter static in the halls

Cold steel breathing through the broken walls

Slow steps, low breath, don’t wake the vents

Each sound rebounds, the feelings tense

Tracker dim in a shaking grip

Something hunts through the shadowed ship

Tracker glowing through the hall

Every beep a final call

Hold your breath, keep it tight

Pray it passes out of sight

You can only hide

No place safe inside

You can only hide

Silent or you die

Hear the tracker cry

Something’s stalking nearby

Dust floats slow in hollow cargo bays

Dead displays decay in yellow haze

Flicker lights shiver down endless halls

Loose wires whisper through broken walls

Every hallway hollow as a grave

A dying station no one came to save

You can only hide

No place safe inside

You can only hide

Silent or you die

Hear the tracker cry

Breath held tight in rust

Footsteps pass overhead

Something waits unfed

Tail through your chest

Pinned to the deck

Black skull descends

Inner jaws end

Claws slam you down

Blood on the ground

One rule survives

Hide to stay alive

You can only hide

No place safe inside

You can only hide

Silent or you die

You can only hide

You can only hide
