The Shadow Theory - I Open Up My Eyes Lyrics

""The shadows dancing by the candle light The walls are bleeding I hear the sound of flies The clock spins backward But the pendulum is still An antique violin laying on the shelf I open up my eyes I open up my eyes Faint echoes left behind Resounding in my mind I open up my eyes I feel a chill I hear a rap-tap-tapping on the window The bangs and clangs of chains I fear them Hear them drag in the shadows An antique record player turned on by itself And then the violin fell down from the shelf The door swung open But there was nobody there A young girls laughter and a creaking on the stair I open up my eyes I open up my eyes Faint echoes left behind Resounding in my mind I open up my eyes I feel a chill I hear a rap-tap-tapping on the window The bangs and clangs of chains I fear them Hear them drag in the shadows I woke up by her still the dead of night (I didn't know where I was) Her arms around me while her nails dug at my heart (It felt so real) She twirled her fingers while she made a hissing sound At first quite lovely but now growing much too loud I open up my eyes I open up my eyes Faint echoes left behind Resounding in my mind I open up my eyes Wake up It's only a dream Wake you must awaken my dear You mussn't be late for the train Wake up my dear Everyone's already here Wake open your eyes We're waiting for you to arrive Wake up my dear Wake up""
