Don't lose track of your friend in the dark
If you blink once, they'll reach for your heart
You can't see them coming, you won't know who to trust
Don't play games with your friend in the dark
You can't win as they tear you apart
Your heart beat quickens, your fingers claw at the dust

Keep your back against the wall, try to shuffle along
You know which ones are smarter or strong
Don't step too loud or you'll be found
And if you're found, you'll be dead in the ground
With the shine of a blade you're next
A flicker or flame you're dead
The violent lips of butterflies that's carved out your chest
The rotten soil of this turmoil, you now lay your head
A friend in the dark
A friend in the dark

'Cause I twist the knife inside
And I feel your blood
And I only taste the power
It's where my demons live

I told you 'bout your friend in the dark
Now you're left bloodied in the park
Oh, the blood
Oh, the blood
