I Open Up My Eyes

The shadows dancing by the candle light

The walls are bleeding

I hear the sound of flies

The clock spins backward

But the pendulum is still

An antique violin laying on the shelf

I open up my eyes

I open up my eyes

Faint echoes left behind

Resounding in my mind

I open up my eyes

I feel a chill

I hear a rap-tap-tapping on the window

The bangs and clangs of chains

I fear them

Hear them drag in the shadows

An antique record player turned on by itself

And then the violin fell down from the shelf

The door swung open

But there was nobody there

A young girls laughter and a creaking on the stair

I open up my eyes

I open up my eyes

Faint echoes left behind

Resounding in my mind

I open up my eyes

I feel a chill

I hear a rap-tap-tapping on the window

The bangs and clangs of chains

I fear them

Hear them drag in the shadows

I woke up by her, still the dead of night

(I didn't know where I was)

Her arms around me while her nails dug at my heart

(It felt so real)

She twirled her fingers while she made a hissing sound

At first quite lovely but now growing much too loud

I open up my eyes

I open up my eyes

Faint echoes left behind

Resounding in my mind

I open up my eyes

Wake up

It's only a dream

Wake, you must awaken my dear

You mussn't be late for the train

Wake up my dear

Everyone's already here

Wake, open your eyes

We're waiting for you to arrive

Wake up my dear

Wake up
