A fictional psychological horror told from the perspective of an obsessive narrator whose idea of love has become a dangerous delusion. As reality blurs with fantasy, admiration turns into fixation, control, and emotional dependency. The lyrics explore obsession, distorted perception, and the collapse of healthy boundaries as part of a fictional character study. This work does not glorify or endorse stalking, coercion, abuse, manipulation, or violence.

Lyrics:

In alleys of memory I’m chasing your reflection in the dark
Through tempered glass I trace your shadow, but you’re never where you are
I hide your picture in my journal, folded like a secret sign
You don’t know the way I’m watching, how your every move is mine

Every glimpse of you outshines the burning of the distant stars
My heart is clinging to the story, calling this devotion “ours”
But it’s just delusion, a sickness dressed as love inside
Still I keep returning, still I circle you in wider miles

I am the shadow at your window
My holy love is blazing, pure and bright
No one can fathom all the depths below
How far I’d go to keep you in my sight
You will be mine at the ending
I’ll stay with you at the ending
You don’t have to ever want me
I know you’re not really against me

I learned your passwords and your patterns, every hour of your day
Your scent is haunting on my pillow, twisting thoughts that will not fade
I left my traces in your house where only I can read the signs
I dream about the day you open up and let me in your life

Darker voices whisper softly, “Break the lock and cross the line”
Reason keeps insisting, “This is love, protect what’s yours, it’s fine”
Relentless circles in my thinking, nowhere left for them to hide
Still I keep returning, still I orbit you each time

Sometimes terror flickers in your eyes when you are looking back
But I say it’s just confusion, simple tricks of light and cracks
Someday you will face the fathoms, feel how deep this current runs
You will taste this full devotion, see the shrine that you’ve become

I am the shadow at your window
My poisoned love is heavy, raw and strong
No one can measure all the depths below
How much I need you, how it’s all gone wrong
You will be mine never ending
I’ll bleed into you unending
All that will matter is we’re bound as one
We will be endless, you can’t come undone

In the basement of our senses, we dissolve and fuse as one
Even if this thing between us isn’t love when it is done
Now there is no path for you to turn and leave this place behind
Now you’ll learn the weight and terror of the word “be mine”
