lyrics
The clock struck midnight.
The boy was sleeping tight but in the half light, one girl spies.
Lurking in shadows, she plans to steal his eyes.
She ripped them out and hid, then cried herself to sleep.
He woke up screaming, felt an excruciating pain.
Felt his face and almost fainted when he found his eyes weren’t there.
“Hey! Wake up, wake up, I must be sleeping now.
Hey! Wake up, wake up, cause something’s very wrong…
What the fuck is going on?”
At night, away from streetlights she waits for the time
to sneak inside and steal their eyes,
to leave them blind, deprive them
of their sight.
She leaves some thread, a needle and
two buttons for them to sew on their face.
“Hey! Wake up, wake up, the room’s filling with water.
I gotta stop crying right now, or else we’re gonna drown.”
Now, treading water, she couldn’t stop her eyes and the blind boy stood there scared.
Now, neck deep, waiting for the end to come, when the wardrobe swallowed both.
At night, away from streetlights she waits for the time to sneak inside and steal their eyes,
to leave them blind, deprive them of their sight.
She leaves some thread, a needle and two buttons for them to sew on their face.
She made him just like her.
Just like they did.
At night, away from streetlights she waits for the time to sneak inside and steal their eyes,
to leave them blind, deprive them of their sight.
She leaves some thread, a needle and two buttons for them to sew on their face.
The wardrobe tossed them into the sea, the boy tried to hold on to her.
She got him to let go and freed herself.
