Winding Down Nightmare

Tick-tock, tick-tock… Wind it up,

don't let it stop,

Hear the music, hear the clock.

Smiling faces, painted eyes,

Something's waking up tonight.

(click) Welcome back.

We missed you.

New faces waiting on the stage,

Plastic smiles inside a cage.

Blue bow tie and rosy cheeks,

They've been quiet for weeks and weeks.

The hallway's dark,

the cameras blur,

I hear a scrape,

a metallic whirr. Put on the mask and hold your breath,

One wrong move could mean your death.

Left side! Right side!

Something's at the door!

Flash the light, check the hall,

I can't take much more!

The music box is winding down,

There's something crawling underground…

WIND IT BACK! DON'T LET IT DIE!

There's a puppet dancing where the shadows lie!

FLASH THAT LIGHT! KEEP WATCHING THE DOOR!

Those smiling faces aren't smiling anymore!

Wind it back! Hear the gears attack!

There's no escape when the night fights back!

Five more hours till the morning light… WELCOME TO YOUR SECOND NIGHT!

A Mangled fox crawling up the ceiling,

Something tells me it knows what I'm feeling.

A toy rabbit waiting,

staring through the glass,

A Toy Chicken smiling as the seconds pass.

Old metal faces in the Parts and Service,

Broken down bodies that still seem nervous.

A yellow bear appears in the hall…

I put on the mask—

(gasp) (tick) (shhhhh) HELLO?

Round and round, a puppet sings,

Tangled up

in silver strings.

If

the melody fades away,

Something comes to play… (tick-tock… tick-tock…) Don't look behind you.

Don't close your eyes.

The toys are moving.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

WIND IT BACK! DON'T LET IT DIE!

A Puppet's coming and there's nowhere to hide!

FLASH THAT LIGHT! THE CLOCK IS RED!

There's a thousand little footsteps overhead!

Wind it back! Hear the gears attack!

Hold your breath till the dawn comes back!

One last hour, one last fight…

SIX A.M. — I'M ALIVE TONIGHT!

Tick…

Tick…

Tick… A brand-new day,

the nightmare's through… (hehehe) We'll see you tomorrow night,

too.
