Lyrics
I bought the knife, but it was dull. Sharpened it's blade between two stones outside the patio of their home. I had never killed anyone before. I had never killed anyone before.
Followed her through the kitchen floor. Climbed up the stairs, walked to his hall, passed paneled frames and pictures galore. She said it had to be done. She said it had to be done.
I picked the lock to his door and tiptoed in on tiles. His body engulfed by the sheets as I raised my knife to the sky.
Can crimes be canceled it it's love that justifies? I testify in our defense life would be lifeless without the thrills, the scars, the lies.
Blanketed in his linen bed. I watched the curls play upon his neck and couldn't help but wonder where he'd wander in death. Did he ever love her like I did? Did he ever love her like I did?
With a swift move of my hand, the bedding turned to red. His soul walked out of the room. I think I lost mine too.
