[Verse 1]
Wake up in a wrecked car
Daughter missing, couldn't get far
I'm in denial, retconning her safety
Better get gone and bring her back home safely
I'm in a new place called Silent Hill
Getting déjà vu from the spinal chill
Maybe a prior generation of mine
Came through in days grim, only time will tell
It's snowing out of season
There's certain things that we know without reason
The winds of spring shouldn't be blowing out leaves
And when we drown
We know we won't be going down breathing
And now, you suddenly freeze
Look at the piano, blood on the keys
What a disease that grips this town
I don't wanna be here when the shit goes down

[Chorus]
It wasn't a nightmare, it was a premonition
Something was moving right there, shut up and listen
Someone turned the lights out, now the fog is creeping in
And our entire town is full of dogs without any skin
Pass my liquor, I wanna drink it
While my flashlight flickers, know what I'm thinking
When at last, I give up, succumb to wickedness
And foul vile visions, hellishly devilish
[Verse 2]
We keep telling ourselves these are parallel worlds
But what if we're in a comparable realm
To the hell we bring down on ourselves?
Putting the wind up us, we are a caravel's sails
When the caramel melts, you see the meat beneath it
Pulling the carousel 'round
What the hell is that sound? It's coming out the ground
But now it's somewhere else, help
How can we tell what is objective reality
When we're bereft of fact, left without clarity?
Our best guess is a blessing of blasphemy
Not impressed with the answer? Stop asking me
This is a messed up masterpiece
Full of locked chests, better fetch the master key
I see spectres and death, it's gastly
No, I'm not psychotic, yes, they're after me

[Chorus]
It wasn't a nightmare, it was a premonition
Something was moving right there, shut up and listen
Someone turned the lights out, now the fog is creeping in
And our entire town is full of dogs without any skin
Pass my liquor, I wanna drink it
While my flashlight flickers, know what I'm thinking
When at last, I give up, succumb to wickedness
And foul vile visions, hellishly devilish
[Outro]
Pass my liquor, I wanna drink it
While my flashlight flickers, know what I'm thinking
When at last, I give up, succumb to wickedness
And foul vile visions, hellishly devilish
