The Phantom of the Hallway (Verse 1) I’m checking every corner, I’m looking at the vents I’m moving with the silence of a spy on defense No squeak in my sneakers, no rattling in my bag Trying to keep my momentum, I can’t afford to lag But suddenly a shadow, a presence in the air I turn around slowly... and Mr. Haynes is there No footsteps heard, no warning in the hall He’s like a jump-scare movie, leaning 'gainst the wall. (Chorus) Hallway’s crowded, but he’s locked on me Mr. Haynes is the gatekeeper, I’m the nominee Left turn, right turn, trying to get to class But he’s checking every second as the minutes pass Yeah, it’s Liam in the hallway, dodging the gaze Navigating through the Mr. Haynes maze. (Verse 2) "Late again, Liam?"—Nah, I’m early for the next But he’s reading my expression like a complicated text He’s got the hallway physics, he’s got the teleport I’m playing for my life, he’s just playing for the sport Is he behind the locker? Is he blending with the door? I swear I saw him downstairs, now he’s on the second floor I’m just trying to get to history, stay under the sun But dodging Mr. Haynes is a battle never won.
