Miniah

A Song about a fictional character I created a while back
Special thanks to Brittney Morrison for her spoken word and vocals.
Lyrics:

[Intro]
Rain tracing tangled lattices on old window glass
A low hum shivers—midnight’s theater calls
Curtains of secrets drape each forgotten frame
Silent as breath before the fall

[Verse 1]
Candles gutter, wax dreams drifting slow
Her name rings hollow through the painted air
I linger for answers written in shadows
While thunder laughs, I sense she’s already there

[Chorus]
Miniah drapes her shadow down the hallway
Chilling laughter flickers down my spine
Spins the lock and throws away the doorway
She's a secret no prayer will define

[Verse 2]
She threads the clockwork midnight
Crimson velvet on her hands
Broken halos mark her passage
She stirs the gloom with her demands

[Pre-Chorus]
And every moment colder than the last
Still I follow, bound to dream collapse

[Chorus]
Miniah drapes her shadow down the hallway
Chilling laughter flickers down my spine
Spins the lock and throws away the doorway
She's a secret no prayer will define

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, Miniah
Oh-oh, temptress of the night

[Verse 3]
Morning’s threat stains the panes with fire
But Miniah lingers in my room
She sketches secrets in condensation
Breathing riddles that foretell my ruin

[Bridge]
The mirror cracks, her smile slips through the silence
All that’s left—tangled truths, unread
I reach, but the night blooms around her presence
Miniah stays, where daylight turns to dread

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Miniah drapes her shadow down the hallway
Chilling laughter flickers down my spine
Spins the lock and throws away the doorway
She's a secret no prayer will define

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, Miniah
Oh-oh, temptress of the night

[Outro]
Shadow melting under silver lamplight
Still I see her silhouette remain
Steps receding, never truly vanished
Every midnight, whispering my name
And when the silence gathers thick as winter
Her promise lingers, carved into the night
