lyrics

These fourteen hour days will be the
death of me,
if this lonely drive don't kill me first.
My only motivation is your precious face.
the only reason I must stay with her.
I love your mother very much,
don't get me wrong.
But love just leads to misery.
I thought I'd buy her flowers,
because after all, today's our anniversary.
Tip-toe over threshold...

(Lights dimmed)
Our wedding song consumes the air.
(Roses)
A trail of roses up the stairs.
(Follow)
Did you really do this all for me?
(Roses)
Oh my love, what could it be?

What have you done, girl,
to my darling, to our baby,
my everything?
How could you?
Tonight's the night, girl,
that you murdered,
that you clawed out my heart, girl.
Ripped to shreds, my everything.

The coldest hands I've ever touched,
the bluest lips.
Close your eyes, please rest in peace.
I'll swaddle you to keep you warm,
I'll hold you close.
There's nothing left for you to fear.
Dear god, It's all my fault,
a consequence for blasphemy.
Strike me down my lord,
forgive me, I offended thee.
Tip-toe, watch out, she's behind you...

(Blood spills)
My stomach opens up inside,
(Slit Throat)
Bloody neck, now open wide.
(Autumn)
Autumn, I'll still hold you tight.
(Hold you)
Until we meet again, goodnight.

What have you done, girl,
to my darling, to our baby,
my everything?
How could you?
Tonight's the night, girl,
that you murdered,
yes, you clawed out my heart, girl.
Ripped to shreds, my everything.

I heard you
cry for the first time tonight.
(I'm fading)
I saw you
noose around neck swinging gently.
(I'm fading)

No, there never was
much of a chance for us.
The ground breaks below,
I can't let go.
I can see the past and future.

No, there never was
much of a chance for us.

What have you done, girl,
to my darling, to our baby,
my everything?
How could you?

You never really loved me,
you never really loved her.
You never even loved yourself;
how could you?
Double homicide slash suicide
is what it took to realize:
I never really loved you.

Now you've thrown away
everything we had.
Do you think
you could take it back?
Remember that we
wont ever be the same.
The inferno awaits,
and I'm the one to blame.
