[Intro] [slow door creak] Kid voice counting One… two… [metal scrape passes left to right] Something in the dark Is hunting you [Verse 1] Claw marks Down the pastel wall Pajamas caught On a hand so cold He laughs From the air vent grate You wake up sweating But it’s too late (too late) Boiler hum In your bedroom floor Ash on the sheets From a burned-down door You blink And the ceiling peels His hat in the corner Grinning in the heat [Chorus] Freddy in my head And the bed starts shaking (ah!) Every time I blink All the walls start breaking Scratching on the glass While my heart keeps racing Can’t wake up ’Cause the dream’s still chasing Freddy in my head Hear the knives all scraping (skrrt) Lullaby low Then the voices start changing Breath in my ear And my skin starts flaking Can’t wake up ’Cause the dream’s still… (taking) [Verse 2] Clock hands spin Backward Fast Smoke pours out Of the looking glass You scream But it echoes wrong Your voice comes back In a dead kid’s song Footsteps On the ceiling tiles He drips black tar In a crooked smile You run But the hallway bends Every single door Is him again (again) [Chorus] Freddy in my head And the bed starts shaking (oh!) Every time I blink All the walls start breaking Scratching on the glass While my heart keeps racing Can’t wake up ’Cause the dream’s still chasing Freddy in my head Hear the knives all scraping Lullaby low Then the voices start changing Breath in my ear And my skin starts flaking Can’t wake up ’Cause the dream’s still… (taking) [Bridge] [heartbeat thump Distant siren] Pillow full of ash Blanket full of teeth You bite your tongue Try to bleed to the street But the floor melts down To a rust-red sea He whispers Guess who’s coming with me (hey…) [Chorus] Freddy in my head And the bed starts shaking Every time I blink All the walls start breaking Scratching on the glass While my heart keeps racing Can’t wake up ’Cause the dream’s still chasing Freddy in my head Hear the knives all scraping Lullaby low Then the voices start changing Breath in my ear As the room stops fading Can’t wake up ’Cause your fear’s his painting
