Murder Was The Case That They Gave Me

(album: XØ - 2009)

I've tried so hard to keep it together
My blood runs cold, I clench my fists
You know I'm dead
I'll seize the day by the throat and watch it die
The last thing you'll see will be my face
Remember this face

This one's for old times
This one's for old times
This one's for old times
You did this to yourself

I've tried so hard to keep it together
My blood runs cold, I clench my fists
You know I'm dead, you know I'm dead
I'll seize the day by the throat and watch it die
The last thing you'll see will be my face
Remember this face

This one's for old times
This one's for old times
(You're so empty inside, you're so empty inside, you're so empty)
(You're so empty inside, you're so empty inside, you're so empty inside)
You did this to yourself.

This is my counterstrike
Right here, my call to arms
I've scarred my battle cry
It's search and destroy you, fucking whore
I'm burning down your house now
I hope to God you're in your house now
Burn bright like a star, traitor
The sun smiles on your corpse, traitor

Your cries mean nothing
I'll take my time
Your tears mean nothing
I'll bide my time

I can't leave you breathing
I can't leave you breathing
I can't leave you breathing
Oh, the stories you'd tell

Maybe you'll learn
When the dirt fills your lungs
Maybe you'll learn
When the dirt fills your lungs

I am your nightmare
I am the shape in the dark
(I am the shape in the dark)
I am your ending
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
God knows, I've had better
