[Intro] I’m the static in your deepest sleep the blade that never dulls… the reason you wake up sweating my name. [Verse 1 ] I don’t knock, I don’t ask, I just walk through the walls of your head Slicing the soft parts where the guilt and the secrets are fed Every scar on my face is a map of the lives that I bled And tonight I’m still hungry… still counting the dead in your bed You thought sleep was a shelter, a soft little cage made of wool But the door swings both ways when the nightmare is in full force I’m the glitch in the system, the error that rewrites the code I’m the reason your pulse skips the second I step into the room [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes… I’ll be waiting… In the places the light never reaches… [Chorus] I’m the king of the unfinished scream The collector of everything you never meant to dream Souls on a string, I’m pulling them in One by one till the dark starts to grin Freddy’s back and the night’s got a name And that name is the last thing you'll ever choke on again. [Verse 2] I wear your memories like jewelry, dangling from rusty steel fingers Every “I love you” you whispered still tastes like the blood when it lingers I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a crime I just need the moment your brain starts to climb Into the deep end where the monsters get paid And I cash every check with a smile and a blade You can run through the hallways, you can hide in the light But the second you blink I’m already inside I’m the echo that answers when you call out for help I’m the only one left when you’ve lost every self [Bridge] Tick… tock… That’s not your clock… That’s me sharpening the edges of tomorrow’s regret Feel the pressure building in the back of your neck That’s the sound of a soul that hasn’t paid its debt yet I don’t kill the body… I just take what the body can’t keep The soft little pieces you bury too deep And when morning comes and the sheets are still red You’ll know I was here… and you’ll know I was in your head [Final Chorus] I’m the king of the unfinished scream The collector of everything you never meant to dream Souls on a string, I’m pulling them in One by one till the dark starts to grin Freddy’s back and the night’s got a name And that name is the last thing you’ll ever choke on again [Outro] Sweet dreams… They’re mine now. Sweet dreams… They’re mine.
