[Verse 1] [Am] A silence deeper still has grown, [F] beyond the woods and flame [C] Where nightmare dreams are whispered out, [G] and none return the same [Am] They call it now The Hollow Web, [F] a net of cursed belief [C] Where stories twist and come to life — [G] reflections made in grief [Verse 2] [Am] The Slenderman no longer walks [F] alone in haunted trees [C] He’s built a house of other fears, [G] with servants on their knees [Am] The Proxy Children do his will — [F] the lost turned into blades [C] And in the static, others stir: [G] old nightmares newly made [Chorus] [F] Threadbareman, [G] Threadbareman, [C] your legend now must grow [Am] The world has cracked, the myths attack, [F] from places we don’t know [F] With stitches forged from memory, [C] and threads of clearer mind [Dm] You stand where even hope has fled, [G] a force both fierce and kind [F] Threadbareman, [G] protector true, [C] your battle is not done [Am] For every tale that’s born in pain — [G] another war’s begun [Verse 3] [Am] He travels now beyond the woods, [F] through screens and pages torn [C] Where viral myths like Laughing Jack [G] and Zalgo’s void are born [Am] But still his shape begins to shift, [F] from sketch to fuller frame [C] The Threadbareman is rising now, [G] and learning his own name [Verse 4] [Am] He’s made of all the quiet love [F] that stories try to hide [C] Of broken toys and whispered prayers [G] and arms once opened wide [Am] No longer just a watcher — now, [F] a flame against the frost [C] He fights not just to guard the weak, [G] but to reclaim what’s lost [Chorus] [F] Threadbareman, [G] Threadbareman, [C] stitched in ancient rhyme [Am] You’re standing now where even truth [F] has slipped outside of time [F] Through haunted code and bleeding woods, [C] you chase what fear commands [Dm] And gently pull the veil away [G] with thread in outstretched hands [F] Threadbareman, [G] the weaver now, [C] of dreams we thought had died [Am] In every nightmare’s darkest hour — [G] we find you at our side [Bridge] [F] The Internet has birthed its own — [G] a modern myth’s domain [C] Where horror feeds on clicks and shares [Am] and childhood’s quiet pain [Dm] But something deep resists the dark — [G] a hand, a stitch, a light [F] Drawn in the corner of a page — [G] then brought again to fight [Verse 5] [Am] He’s battled Jack in carnival haze, [F] where laughter cuts like knives [C] He’s whispered to the proxies’ hearts, [G] and brought back stolen lives [Am] He’s stood before the eyes of Zalgo — [F] broken void and scream [C] And sowed within that gaping maw [G] a single, shining dream [Chorus] [F] Threadbareman, [G] Threadbareman, [C] a hero drawn in thread [Am] Who walks the lines of fear and myth, [F] where others fear to tread [F] With silver strands he binds the cracks [C] in every fractured tale [Dm] A patchwork myth that stands for good, [G] where others always fail [F] Threadbareman, [G] we say your name [C] when legends come to feed [Am] A sentinel against the dark — [G] a balm to every need [Bridge 2] [Dm] They try to say he’s fiction too — [Am] a whisper with no weight [C] But every time a child sleeps, [G] he lingers at their gate [Dm] Not made by fear, but drawn by love — [Am] he only comes when called [F] A myth that pushes nightmares back, [G] so life is not forestalled [Final Verse] [Am] And when the final veil is torn, [F] and silence climbs the skies [C] He’ll stand atop the stitched remains, [G] with hope behind his eyes [Am] For though the dark keeps spawning more, [F] the thread of light holds true [C] And every myth born out of fear — [G] he’ll meet, and he’ll undo [Final Chorus / Outro] [F] Threadbareman, [G] Threadbareman, [C] beyond the trees you’ve gone [Am] You walk the modern mythscape now, [F] where endless fears spawn [F] But even in the algorithm, [C] even in the code [Dm] You’re there — a thread of quiet grace [G] upon the shadowed road [F] Threadbareman, [G] still rising slow — [C] we dream and you respond [Am] You are the hand that pulls us back… [G] From monsters far beyond [C] (let ring) From monsters far… beyond.
