[Intro]
I can't say goodbye, I can't say goodnight
Can't say goodbye, can't say goodnight

[Chorus]
I wanna go back to when the screams were real
And beautiful terror is what I wanna feel
Dripping over me like a long-lost memory
I wanna go back to when the nights were red
Mechanized agony and trouble in my head
It wasn't good and I don't feel bad
Those five nights were the best I've ever had

[Verse 1]
Where did you go? All my friendly nightmares?
My skin is crawling and nobody cares
Shadows are falling and I will catch them
In my dreams tonight
I can smell the oil and I can taste the past
I shiver and recoil at the demons I've amassed
They keep me company so I will never be alone
I'm trapped in my mind but my mind is not my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does the pain remain inside?
I will never, never be sure
But if it disappeared, I wouldn't know
Who I was anymore
[Chorus]
I wanna go back to when the screams were real
And beautiful terror is what I wanna feel
Dripping over me like a long-lost memory
I wanna go back to when the nights were red
Mechanized agony and trouble in my head
It wasn't good and I don't feel bad
Those five nights were the best I've ever had

[Verse 2]
Oh, now the night is over and I can feel the sun
It's been forever since I've had a little fun
My blood is pumping but I've never felt less alive
I wish that I could go back to night number five
It may be crazy but I've always been a little strange
And if you wanna join me, that can be arranged
So let's go back and let's relive the time we thought we'd die
And if we make it out, we'll have ourselves a pizza pie

[Pre-Chorus]
Why does the pain remain inside?
I will never, never be sure
But if it disappeared, I wouldn't know
Who I was anymore

[Chorus]
I wanna go back to when the screams were real
And beautiful terror is what I wanna feel
Dripping over me like a long-lost memory
I wanna go back to when the nights were red
Mechanized agony and trouble in my head
It wasn't good and I don't feel bad
Those five nights were the best I've ever had
