Slender Man

Last night I woke up from a pleasant dream
While you had nightmares lying next to me
Tell me what haunts you in your sleep
It brings to mind familiar memories

An image of the warmest summer day
a monster watches while the children play
You ask me if I can relate
Truth is I used to be afraid
Till I approached him as a friend

And that's the last I heard of Slender Man
Sent from my thoughts off to a distant land
Where dated fears come to retire
A growing mind has no desire
To be concerned with make believe

Now hear my voice call out a warning
when I'm gone without a whisper in the morning
I guess you're packing up to leave
Just forget that you believe
Pretend that we are all the same

But I'm still waiting with the devil
Where false confessions aren't allowed for
This is not your second voice
This time you don't have a choice
But to look in my empty eyes

So look into my empty eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes

If there's a cry that hides behind your laugh
When you spot shadows in your photographs
That empty white face in your bed
Can never be considered dead
As long as he's living in your head
