Forever Smile

Verse 1
Midnight strikes.
The clock ticks.
Shadows stretch.
Darkness mixes.
Footsteps echo.
Down the hall.
No one answers.
When you call.
Cold wind blows.
Curtains shake.
You lie frozen.
Wide awake.
Verse 2
Plastic hides.
The mirror cracks.
He is tracking
All your tracks.
White hoodie stained.
Smells like rust.
Sanity turns
Into dust.
Hear a scrape
Against the wall.
Nowhere left
For you to crawl.
Chorus
Two wide eyes.
Never blink.
Leaning closer.
Do not think.
Flash of steel.
In the deep.
Whispered words:
"Go to sleep."
Verse 3
He burned his eyelids.
Just to see.
The horror of
Your agony.
He carved a grin
From ear to ear.
To mirror back
Your absolute fear.
The lighter fluid.
The gasoline.
The worst mistake
You've ever seen.
Verse 4
Laughter rings.
High and crazed.
Through the bedroom.
Through the haze.
The blade is cold.
Against your chin.
You see the red
Inside his grin.
Hold your breath.
Close your eyes.
No one hears
The victim's cries.
Chorus
Two wide eyes.
Never blink.
Leaning closer.
Do not think.
Flash of steel.
In the deep.
Whispered words:
"Go to sleep."
Bridge
Hush now, darling.
Don't you weep.
The nightmare cuts
So very deep.
You cannot run.
You cannot hide.
The monster sits
Right by your side.
Look at the face.
Look at the scar.
This is who
You really are.
Guitar Solo / Outro
A final scream.
The metal strikes.
This is what
The killer likes.
The room goes black.
The pulse drops low.
The final act
Of the horror show.
Shhh...
Go to sleep.
Forever.
