[Verse 1]
In the black behind the grin
I hear that metal skin begin
One arm raised, a broken spark
Dragging fire through the dark
Eye-sockets burning mean and wide
He steps like doom with sharpened pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screech
Hear it tear
One arm, one flame
Still going there
The floor shakes hard
The doors all shout
And every chain in the room snaps out
[Chorus]
A withered Bonnie
Burning through the night
A withered Bonnie
Mean frequency alive
A withered Bonnie
Legend born from rust
A withered Bonnie
Strike, then turn to dust
[Verse 2]
Strings spit venom, red and loud
He carves the fear out of the crowd
No second hand, no mercy left
Just one raw swing and stolen breath
From the dark, he owns the stage
A rotten king in a cage of rage
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that screech
Hear it rise
Flame on the fret
And the room goes blind
The walls lean back
The shadows bow
He was never seen like this before now
[Chorus]
A withered Bonnie
Burning through the night
A withered Bonnie
Mean frequency alive
A withered Bonnie
Legend born from rust
A withered Bonnie
Strike, then turn to dust
[Bridge]
[Half-time]
Slow blood in the circuit
Cold teeth in the wire
He laughs through the static
And feeds on the fire
One arm to rule it
One howl to seal it
The dark made a monster
Now everybody feel it
[Final Chorus]
A withered Bonnie
Burning through the night
A withered Bonnie
Mean frequency alive
A withered Bonnie
Legend born from rust
A withered Bonnie
Strike, then turn to dust
A withered Bonnie
Burning through the night
A withered Bonnie
Never seen this bright
