Don't lose track of your friend in the dark If you blink once, they'll reach for your heart You can't see them coming, you won't know who to trust Don't play games with your friend in the dark You can't win as they tear you apart Your heartbeat quickens, your fingers claw at the dust ♪ Keep your back against the wall, try to shuffle along You know which ones are smarter or strong Don't step too loud or you'll be found And if you're found, you'll be dead in the ground With the shine of a blade (you're next) A flicker or flame (you're dead) The violent lips of butterflies that's carved out your chest The rotten soil of this turmoil, you now lay your head A friend in the dark A friend in the dark A friend in the dark! ♪ 'Cause I twist the knife inside And I feel your blood And I only taste the power It's where my demons live I told you 'bout your friend in the dark Now you're left bloodied in the park Oh, the blood Oh, the blood
