Shadow Stitcher

Verse 1

Shadow stitching silence to the wall

You say you’ve seen it all

Sing a soft, sharp warning, here I am

Close your tired eyes

Careless comfort left out in the cold

Barren breath, a broken hand to hold

I linger, I laugh, I step—

One foot

No turning back

Chorus: Duet

I am the one you should fear, my dear

I am the voice in your ear, my dear

Haunted by the words you hear

I am the one

You should fear, my dear

Verse 2

See me shimmer in the stain—

Glass heart held by a thread

Crimson curtain, curtains drawn again

Every darkest doubt you fed

Painted patterns spiral in the gloom

I enter, I echo, I fill the room

Shiver now—

Feel the chill

I am not gone

Chorus

I am the one you should fear, my dear

I am the voice in your ear, my dear

Fragile as a shattered mirror

I am the one

You should fear, my dear

(You should fear, my dear)

Bridge: Guitar Virtuoso & Strings

Maybe you loved me once

Maybe you lied, maybe you ran

Maybe I waited

Bitter hands

Broken plans

Still, I stand

Still, I am the one

Chorus: All

I am the one you should fear, my dear

Stain your vision, crystal clear, my dear

No refuge, no retreat here

(Fear, my dear)

I am the one

You should fear

You should fear, my dear

Outro: Piano

Say my name, say it slow

You will know

I am the one you should fear

My dear

My dear
