(Verse 1) Woke up in a place I don’t know, Dust in the air, shadows on the floor. Creaking chair in the middle of the room, And I feel the weight of the gloom. She’s sitting there with a crooked grin, Tells me the nightmare’s about to begin. But it’s funny, I’ve been here before, Waking up just leads to more. (Chorus) She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" And I know that I’m stuck, I can’t run. Round and round, this nightmare begins, Wake me up, but I’m trapped as the web spins. She’s rocking slow, never lets me go, I’m caught in the dark, in the undertow. And the taste on my tongue turns numb, She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" (Verse 2) Kids on the street whisper her name, Say her story's a local flame. But I tried to see her as more than a curse, Now I know it’s much, much worse. The walls bend, and I start to fall, Reality fades into nothing at all. Every time I wake, it’s the same, Like a twisted, endless game. (Chorus) She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" And I know that I’m stuck, I can’t run. Round and round, this nightmare begins, Wake me up, but I’m trapped as the web spins. She’s rocking slow, never lets me go, I’m caught in the dark, in the undertow. And the taste on my tongue turns numb, She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" (Bridge) The floors creak, the windows shake, But no matter how hard I try, I can’t wake. Her laugh lingers in the air, Pulling me back to her chair. The gum in my mouth tastes like fear, I’m trapped, and she’s always near. (Chorus) She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" And I know that I’m stuck, I can’t run. Round and round, this nightmare begins, Wake me up, but I’m trapped as the web spins. She’s rocking slow, never lets me go, I’m caught in the dark, in the undertow. And the taste on my tongue turns numb, She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" (Outro) Rocking, rocking, won’t let me wake, How many times can my mind break? In her house, in her curse, I’m stuck forever, what’s worse? She says, "Care for a stick of black gum?" And I’m lost, lost in what I’ve become.
