Teddy's pacing in the hallway
Eyes on every door
Hears his name inside the static
Can't take it anymore
Whispers in the ceiling vents
Messages in code
Every light a hidden lens
Every friend a ghost
Rory says, "Don't trust the calm —
It's just the calm before the storm."
"They're already in the circuits, Ted…
You've been watched since you were born."
He feels the eyes inside the wires
Every text a spark, a liar
Mr. Blue's behind the screen —
Pulling thoughts like puppet strings
Teddy's mind's a radio storm
Tuned to fear that's taken form
The world's too loud to breathe between
He's drowning in the in-between
Days turning cold and curtains drawn
He can't shake the sound
Footsteps echo down the hall
A shadow turns around
Every knock feels like a threat
Every smile, a scheme
He wonders if Rory's warning
Was prophecy or dream
Rory's voice still in his head
"The news is fake, the moon's a feed."
"Mr. Blue's beneath your bed —
You're a pawn before his need."
He feels the eyes inside the wires
Every thought a spark, a fire
Mr. Blue's beneath the skin —
Sends the whispers crawling in
Teddy's heart a broken drum
Every pulse a loaded gun
Paranoia, pure and clean
He's falling through the in-between
"Do you see the beams, Ted?"
"They're trying to get inside your head."
"Don't look at the sky — it's watching back."
"It's all true, it's all true…"
He feels the eyes inside the wires
Every breath a burning pyre
Mr. Blue's inside the dream —
No escape, no in-between
Rory's words, a prophecy
"Once you see, you never leave."
The truth is out, the screen goes black —
And Teddy's not coming back
"It's not paranoia if it's true…"
"…Stay purple and avoid the blue."
