Watching the tape flicker round and round,
Watching your face as it hits the ground with my hand on the back of your head.
The fear of the dead, is holding me back.
I hear your bones crack under my hands.
They crack so easily.
Your eyes close involuntarily.
There's no time for Hail Mary now my love.
So wash those tears away.
Your veins are strewn across the floor.
You want it to stop? So tell me more about what you did.
About who you did.
You think you can lie to me?
Well, I've lied to the best.
I know all the ins and outs,
All the winks and pouts.
I know when I am being lied to,
I know that you're not as saintly as you think.
I'm King in this scenario, and you are my Pawn.
Just think about all the things you could have said at the beginning.
You didn't have to lie, you didn't have to avoid the truth.
I was trusting you to tell the truth.
You see, I already know what you've done.
I worked it out. I'm not stupid.
That's the beauty of this scenario.
I was testing you.
So now we sit, face to face.
And you've spewed out all these lies and fibs and I've had to listen to them all with a straight face.
And I'm afraid I can't let you leave now.
As your eyes close for good, I am smiling.
We'll end together.
I'll see you on the other side.
Our troubles will soon dissipate.
And we'll be together again.
