Don't Blink
Don’t blink
They won’t even miss you at all
You call this place a home
A place of peace
A home is no home without chaos
Don’t blink
You’ll miss every chance you didn’t take
Step back
Glance forward
Hesitate and you’re dead
You can’t please me
I’m too hard to understand
So please follow in my footsteps
Right, left, left, right
Dance along with me tonight
Her reflective glare illuminates our path
Step right, step left
Avoid the falling bodies of our past choice
Don’t blink
They creep and watch from the shadows
Waiting for the chance to weave their memories into you
Bringing back the past pain
Just when you think you’re free
That last tiny one comes along
And does it every time
You think I’m crazy, but I’m really helping ourselves
Hold me up
Support our ends
Sucks to stick around
Don’t even try to mess around
This is the price we pay
Don’t blink
Here they come
Started with ‘Hello’
Ends with ‘Goodbye’
So heres to another battered life
I tried to help you with myself first
Giving all I could think of
Don’t blink
You might miss it all
They won’t even miss you at all
You call this place a home
A place of peace
A home is no home without chaos
Don’t blink
You’ll miss every chance you didn’t take
Step back
Glance forward
Hesitate and you’re dead
You can’t please me
I’m too hard to understand
So please follow in my footsteps
Right, left, left, right
Dance along with me tonight
Her reflective glare illuminates our path
Step right, step left
Avoid the falling bodies of our past choice
Don’t blink
They creep and watch from the shadows
Waiting for the chance to weave their memories into you
Bringing back the past pain
Just when you think you’re free
That last tiny one comes along
And does it every time
You think I’m crazy, but I’m really helping ourselves
Hold me up
Support our ends
Sucks to stick around
Don’t even try to mess around
This is the price we pay
Don’t blink
Here they come
Started with ‘Hello’
Ends with ‘Goodbye’
So heres to another battered life
I tried to help you with myself first
Giving all I could think of
Don’t blink
You might miss it all
