Switch-Stitch Teddy (Remastered)

[Verse 1] Button eye watching in the corner Frayed red ribbon on his neck Soft brown fur Little stitched-up shoulder He hums when she sleeps Keeps the dark in check He knows every tremor in her breathing Every midnight shiver in the sheets Smells her fear like smoke in the ceiling Smiles his seam-line smile Keeps the nightmares weak [Chorus] He's her switch-stitch teddy All cotton and care Till you touch what’s his Till you even dare Then the stuffing turns ash And the growl gets deep Raging grizzly in the glow You won't leave this room asleep Switch-stitch teddy Better say your prayers He’s cuddly till you cross him Then it’s claws Not teddybear [Verse 2] Hand on her wrist And his ears start ringing One loose thread pulling at his spine Every boot step on the floor keeps ticking Like teeth on bone Like a warning sign Plastic smile cracking as you’re laughing Glass bead eyes going dull Then black You don’t see the shadow that is standing Right behind your joke Ready to attack [Chorus] He's her switch-stitch teddy All cotton and care Till you touch what’s his Till you even dare Then the stuffing turns ash And the growl gets deep Raging grizzly in the glow You won't leave this room asleep Switch-stitch teddy Better say your prayers He’s cuddly till you cross him Then it’s claws Not teddybear [Bridge] He was born to be hugged Not to hunt Not to harm (oh) But he’d burn down the world just to guard her arms Little heart sewn in through a hidden seam Hear it pound like thunder when she cries in her sleep [Chorus] He's her switch-stitch teddy All cotton and care Till you touch what’s his Till you even dare Then the stuffing turns ash And the growl gets deep Raging grizzly in the glow You won't leave this room asleep Switch-stitch teddy Better say your prayers He’s cuddly till you cross him Then it’s claws Not teddybear
