[Verse]
       Eb       Cm        D                    Gm
In the dwindling twilight time is unwinding, lines are blurred
Eb                        Cm             C                             Gm
Under the guise of a child into your nightmare I've been lured
           Eb             Cm               D
Like a puppet, tied and hung up tightly bound
Gm                             Eb                     Cm                                  D
Your strings I've been strung to, I dream that I'd run away from you if my feet could feel the
Gm
ground

                          Ebm           D
Now I'm out of the woods, safe and sound as I board up the doors
           Gm
But once I'm in the clear, and free of all fear, I find that I'm hungry for more

       Eb       Dm  Cm         Bbm D
The hunt has begun, hold onto your hats, if it isn't knives, it's eyes in your back
     Gm                      Eb               D      Gm
So whether or not you're friendly with rats, pretend you're a mouse in a house full of cats


Pale is the prison they doomеd me to dwell
        Cm                      D
With room for just one, but two in a cеll
       Gm                Cm
The dusk is upon us, I knew as it fell
                                D
That darkness is honest, are you to yourself?

           Gm                                                    Cm                        Gm
When my thoughts are distorted and body dysmorphed into monstrous forms of the awfullest sorts
                                          Eb                        Cm
We're locked up with dolls and their hollowed out corpses, all haunted by hunger, the
        D
omniscient force

      Cm                    Gm                   Cm      Gm                       D
So often my reveries are littered with the debris of my hopes and dreams
           Gm                      Eb           D
As we all grow to be old and bitter, a tale foretold in broken screens
        Gm                        Eb                    D
How blinding the glare, your mind is so weak
     Cm                Bb        A             D
I'd like you to share this nightmare with me
   Gm                         Eb                D
I hide in my hood, not to show you my eyes
  Dm            Gm
I know that I'll fail with no coattail to ride

Cm                        Eb
Mannequin paired with marionette
    D                        Gm
In dissonant discord, our deadly duet
          Cm            Eb
We're lost in a lullaby, slumbering away
        D
Where sins remain hidden, but rarely they stay

        Gm           Eb               Cm                     D
It was only in my shadow that I'd finally found a friend
        Gm                     Eb                      Cm            Dm
'Till the light that bound us let go and the devil took my hand
D        Gm           Eb                 Cm            D
As she closed my eyes, remind me once again
           G         Eb   Cm       Ab   D               Gm
What's the dreamer's li~~~e? "Every nightmare has an end"

                                Eb
I sleep like the dead, nonetheless I am lucid
Gm                              D
If dreams have a meaning, perhaps I should tune in
        Gm                           Eb
To the signal that beckons, familiar it seems
Gm
Be silent, you might see yourself in its beams

                              Cm
A knife or a noose is with what you'll be met
                              D
If you try to play nice and stick out your neck
  Gm                          Cm
I thrive in the shadows, untrusting of light
                                D
Be warned if you join me, it's just for a bite
     Gm                   Eb
I'd rather be lost and lonely
         Cm                       D
'Cause friends aren't meant to last
                  Gm           Eb
Thought you finally got to know me
D       Cm               Gm
But you've only met the mask

Cm                               Eb
Sad is my dream where the grass is quite green
         D                  Gm
Turned into a pasture of mesmerized sheep
     Cm                 Eb
I'd count them, but why should I bother
          D
In the end they're all meant to be slaughtered

        Gm           Eb               Cm                     D
It was only in my shadow that I'd finally found a friend

'Till the light that bound us let go and the devil took my hand
         Gm           Eb                 Cm            D
As she closed my eyes, remind me once again
