_ _ _ _ Hey kid, _ _ I've been watching you. _ _
_ _ _ _ Sleeping in the lilies with that old dull bladed knife.
Still in them bulletproof pajamas you've worn all your life.
But tonight you're in some murky bar, the music's too loud and you don't feel like dancing.
Not a familiar face in the room, just that little voice in the back of your head.
It's always been there, but tonight it says the days are getting shorter.
The air is getting colder, while you sip your rum and [D] coke kid, you're just getting [F] older.
_ _ _ [Dm] You realize you're sweating and the air around you stinks.
You stumble to the bathroom, throw your head beneath the sink.
And as you raise your eyes, your lips release a little groan.
Cause the face that's grinning back at you just isn't quite your own. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] So you go [Dm] back to your lily petals, pull those old pajamas tight.
But you can't shake this feeling, that your life is just a game of chess.
Where ancient gods and devils [Dm] fight.
People stagger by you, thick blood running down their faces.
Where little jet black serpents try to mate with your shoelaces.
And old blind dogs been at your heels with the overpowering stench of decay.
And an old friend sends a package.
The skull inside it seems to say I'm the face in every mirror.
The shadow at your feet.
The little light that grows [D] behind each pair of eyes that you [F] meet.
_ _ You can hide inside your castle, spend years thinking you're free.
But I'm like ancient Rome, baby all rosy to me. _ _ _

Okay kid, _ let me tell you a little story. _
_ _ See I don't get into town too often these days.
But _ sometime soon, old Jack Frost's gonna blow back into the heart of the big city. _
_ _ And I'll scream until the buildings melt and whisper till they freeze.
[D] And I'll stand on an icy tower with every eye fixed on [F] me. _ _ _
[Dm] And everyone will follow as I raise my left hand to the sky.
And together we'll peel back the fabric of this world and stare into the void that lies behind. _ _ _
