C Bm Kill the lights. Curtains cover closed blinds. Am Bm Em C Build a wall of stone and steel that will never come down. Bm Let the dust colonize just like James the first. Am Bm Em There will be no blood this time. C Bm Em In silence, I'm yours. Twice dead-bolt the doors. Interlude: Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Em/C B Verse: Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# I've been followed by a face marked with pain. Em/C B It came close once and he just learned my name. Em Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Every day he grows taller, he looks down at my heart, C B and through my throat, he could reach in and pull me Chorus: C apart. Bm It gets worse when he contacts my eyes. Am Bm Em C He can see right through to everything that blackened my veins Bm and his sounds resonate up and down, Am Bm Em like a march through me, this battlefield, C B Em there's just not much left, so silence the rest. Coda: C Em G In this shadow, I shrink and it knows Em I can't move, I can't sleep. D C Em Terrified by my own bloodshot eyes. C Em So, I'll wait here and pray.

C B Em It keeps me just sick enough to stay home, all alone. Outro: Em/D# Em/D Em/C# Em/C B
