The Dark Closing In

Verse 1

Black silhouette stands by my bed frame

Red eyes burn when the lamps go low

I blink and the blade finds my shoulder

A fresh cut I never saw home

Pre-Chorus

Every street corner every doorway

It waits right where I turn around

Chorus

It's not a trick of the light

Not just a dream I can shake

The shadow follows me round

Every step that I take

I close my eyes and it carves

Another scar in my skin

I know this thing isn't fake

It's the dark closing in

Verse 2

Mirrors hold it one step behind me

My own breath fogs the glass in two

Maybe my soul is the price

That it keeps coming through

Pre-Chorus

I try to run I try to pray

It only pulls me close again

Chorus

It's not a trick of the light

Not just a dream I can shake

The shadow follows me round

Every step that I take

I close my eyes and it carves

Another scar in my skin

I know this thing isn't fake

It's the dark closing in

Bridge

Spirit with the hollow stare

What do you want from my bones

Every wound a cold reminder

I'm never walking alone

Chorus

It's not a trick of the light

Not just a dream I can shake

The shadow follows me round

Every step that I take

I close my eyes and it carves

Another scar in my skin

I know this thing isn't fake

It's the dark closing in
