YOU’RE AT HOME ALONE, INSIDE YOUR LONELY ROOM. YOU DESPERATELY HOPE YOU WON’T BE VISITED BY THAT OLD FRIEND, THAT TERRYFING VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD THAT KNOWS ALL YOUR DEEPEST FEARS.

BACK BETWEEN THESE FOUR WALLS, EVERYTIME NIGHT FALLS
KNOWIN’ THAT I NEED TO BE ON GUARD
IT’LL BE LOOKIN’ FOR ME
THIS VOICE WITHOUT SYMPATHY TEARIN’ OPEN MY OLD SCARS
DON’T MATTER HOW HARD I PLEAD
IT WON’T STOP UNTIL I BLEED
WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THIS IS HEADED FOR
WHISPERIN’ SOFTLY IN MY EAR
TELLIN’ ME WHAT I’M AFRAID TO HEAR
HERE’S MY OLD FRIEND, THAT KNOWS ME ALL TOO WELL
I WISH THAT I COULD RUN
OR ONE DAY FIND IT GONE
GONE FROM THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
A SHADOW MOVIN’ ACROSS THE WALL TELLIN’ ME THAT IT WON’T BE LONG UNTIL IT FINDS ME AGAIN
DON’T MATTER HOW HARD I PLEAD
IT WON’T STOP UNTIL I BLEED
WE BOTH KNOW WHAT THIS IS HEADED FOR
WHISPERIN’ SOFTLY IN MY EAR
TELLIN’ ME WHAT I’M AFRAID TO HEAR
HERE’S MY OLD FRIEND, THAT KNOWS ME ALL TOO WELL
