There was a time that marked the death of me
The most beautiful girl I’d ever seen
I knew at once that she’d be mine
It was only just a matter of time

When you told me we were through
Something broke inside
Something slithered through
You see me looking and if looks could kill
If I can’t have you no one will

I’m not one to tell a lie, so
I’ll see you soon on the other side
I’m not one to be held back
I got a straight razor and a fifth of Jack

Now shadows shift from things unseen
Your dreams reveal such awful things
Something pounding on all your doors
Wailing seeps up through the floor
I had this thought inside my head
We’d be together again
Once you were dead
You took a tumble on down the stairs
and ended up in a coma instead

I’m not one to contemplate
But if I think on it
I think I made a mistake
I’m not one to do what I’m told
I didn’t cross the street, no
I went up the road

and it’s…

Another cold dark night
Sitting in your room
I only did what I said I’d do
If I could I’d bring you flowers
but incorporeal powers
Only seem to bring doom

I gave you footsteps behind your back
Icy fingers around your neck
I did what I promised to
But what’s haunting me
Is I’m haunting you
