Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see his silhouette standing by the door
A cardboard cut out from another world
He wears a hat
His eyes a-glow
Smiles at me
Like he already knows
He leans in close
Then drifts apart
A paper shadow with a stolen heart
I lock my jaw
I lock my breath
But he keeps pace
With the steps I left
[Pre-Chorus]
When the hallway bends
He bends with it
When I turn around
He’s already there
I taste cold dust
On the back of my tongue
And I know that grin
Is a loaded stare
[Chorus]
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
He stands by the door
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
And he knows my name
A nightmare man
[Verse 2]
His suit is flat
Like a poster face
But he moves like smoke
Through the cramped-up space
Hat brim low
Like a hiding moon
He shakes the room
Without touching you
I hear him laugh
From the crack in the wall
Not loud at all
Just enough to crawl
Under my skin
Into my sleep
He keeps one eye
On the things I keep
[Pre-Chorus]
When the hallway bends
He bends with it
When I turn around
He’s already there
I taste cold dust
On the back of my tongue
And I know that grin
Is a loaded stare
[Chorus]
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
He stands by the door
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
And he knows my name
A nightmare man
[Bridge]
I tried to name him
He wore it thin
I tried to wake
But he let me in
That hat, that grin
That hollow skin
If I blink too long
He’ll begin again
[Final Chorus]
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
He stands by the door
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
And he knows my name
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
He waits in the frame
A nightmare man
A nightmare man
I see him still
A nightmare man

Style
Industrial rock with mechanical stomp, distorted bass, chain-clank percussion, and a tense mid-tempo pulse; verse rides a sparse metallic groove with cold mono vocals, pre-chorus strips to flickering toms and filtered noise, chorus hits with stacked shouted doubles and a grinding synth riff. Add alarm-siren rises, reversed metal swells, and a sub drop into the hook. Gritty, close-mic mix with sharp edges and a pressurized low end., industrial rock, world

Prompt
Industrial rock, about the hat man-
I see his silhouette standing by the door
A cardboard cut out from another world
He wears a hat
His eyes a-glow
Smiles at me
Like he already knows
A nightmare man
