Slender Man

[Verse 1]
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
'Til I approached him as a friend

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 doubtful
Where false confessions are a mouthful
This is not your second voice
This time you don't have a choice
Once you look into my empty eyes

[Bridge]
So look into my empty eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
Eyes

[Verse 3]
If there's a cry that hides behind your laugh
When you spot shadows in photographs
That empty white face in your bed
Can never be considered dead
As long as he's living in your head
