do the things you usually do and i'll take care of you learn to live your christ-like life i'll cut you with my knife i'll cut you, my christ-like lover no, i won't go so slow i'll cut you with my knife i'll cut you, my christ-like lover as stupid as your passion is, i'm jealous that you even feel a bit i'm like a robot crunching numbers in my fucking head the mystery that your intuition is you read me like a book, it makes me sick as stupid as your passion is, i'm jealous that you even give a shit i'm like a robot crunching numbers in my fucking head

hello there the angel from my nightmare the shadow in the background of the morgue the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley we can live like jack and sally if we want you can always find me we'll have halloween on christmas and in the night we'll wish this never ends wish this never ends i miss you i miss you where are you? i'm so sorry i cannot sleep i cannot dream tonight i need somebody always this sixth strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting every time as i stared i counted the webs from all the spiders catching things and eating their insides like indecision to call you and hear your voice of treason will you come home and stop this pain tonight stop this pain tonight don't waste your time on me you're already the voice inside my head
