[Intro] [Key: B Minor | BPM: 52] [Instrumental only] [No piano] [Deep sub-bass pressure] [Slow mechanical pulse] [Music box mechanism winding] [Single glockenspiel note] [Metal clicking in the distance] [Bowed steel resonance] [Children whispering, unintelligible and extremely distant] [Long silence] [No vocals] [Verse 1] [Almost no rhythm] I hate what I became I see it When I sleep I wash my hands [Verse 2] [Low industrial pulse begins] Some nights I want it all to end No more streets No more watching No more names No more waiting For the right moment [Pre-Chorus] [Music box enters, badly out of tune] But then I think of you And the thought Of suicide Feels like Leaving work unfinished [Chorus] [Heavy mechanical impacts] I could end this I could vanish But there is still So much to do So much to see So much of you That hasn't happened yet [Verse 3] [Beat nearly disappears] You think you're safe Because nothing Has happened That's exactly how I want you to feel Nothing has happened [whispered] ...Yet [Verse 4] [Clicking sounds become rhythmic] You won't have A normal life Not anymore I won't allow it I will see to that You will check The locks You will listen For footsteps You will wake up At small noises And wonder [Pre-Chorus] How long How close How much Does he know [Chorus] [Industrial beat becomes heavier] I could end this I could vanish But there is still So much to do So I choose The fear I choose The waiting I choose To become The thing you dread [Bridge] [Near silence] [Music box slowly winding] [One glockenspiel note] When you breathe I know When you sleep I know When you lock The door I know [Long silence] I hold The difference Between [Pause] When you breathe And when You don't [Final Chorus] [Darkest section, massive sub-bass and distorted industrial impacts] You will not Have a normal life I will see to it You will count The footsteps You will watch The locks You will fear An empty room You will hear My voice Without anyone Speaking You will eventually Meet me [Music drops out] And I will finish the work [Final line almost whispered] Ending with me~ [Outro] [Instrumental only] [No vocals] [Music box continues alone] [Glockenspiel notes become increasingly sparse] [Children whispering from extreme distance] [Metal clicking] [Slow chain drag] [Bowed steel shriek] [One deep mechanical impact] [Music box abruptly stops] [Silence] [Very faint breathing] [Silence]
