[Intro] Midnight clock, the prize room shuts Dust on gold and rust on bolts [Verse 1] I took the late shift, signed my name The hallway cameras blinked awake Four paper smiles above the stage Turned their heads when the monitor changed [Pre-Chorus] Something moved behind the curtain Every lock says I'm not certain If I make it to the morning bell Will this place let me leave as well? [Chorus] Run when the red eyes find you Hide where the old walls divide you Five long nights and the door won't stay They wind up once, then they start the chase Run when the red eyes find you No one hears through the revenue Keep your breath till the sunrise calls Don't let the footsteps cross the hall [Verse 2] A music box plays one thin note Cold air slips through the rabbit's coat The kitchen light begins to swing Metal fingers scrape the sink [Pre-Chorus] The power drops, the room goes black A painted grin is at my back I see the clock crawl past four-two And hear a child say, "I see you" [Chorus] Run when the red eyes find you Hide where the old walls divide you Five long nights and the door won't stay They wind up once, then they start the chase Run when the red eyes find you No one hears through the revenue Keep your breath till the sunrise calls Don't let the footsteps cross the hall [Bridge] Four steel shadows, one locked room A birthday song beneath the gloom If the morning comes, I won't look back But the prize room door just clicked off track [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Run when the red eyes find you Hide where the old walls divide you Five long nights and the door won't stay They wind up once, then they start the chase Run when the red eyes find you No one hears through the revenue Keep your breath till the sunrise calls Don't let the footsteps cross the hall [Outro] The clock strikes six, the curtains close One empty chair begins to pose
