Silent Film

(album: Adultery - 2006)

Purr pussycat, you have so many lives to live
Claws out dig deep and scratch away the skin
You know you own the night so go howl under the full moon
These streets are filled with killers and comic book goons

This is your life
Flashing before your eyes
All the riddles and rhymes
Echo in your mind
It looks as though the joke is on

Circling spirits, loom above the autopsies
Sinners and saints fail to communicate
Unforgiving eyes, confessions caught on tape
Wish me luck I'm going in never to return

This is your life
Flashing before your eyes
All the riddles and rhymes
Echo in your mind
It looks as though the joke is on you

As your blood runs cold
And the plot Thickens
Inside the mind of a killer
This could all be yours

Blood tests and x-rays are clear
Your results came back terminal
Nothing is saving you now
At your deathbed confessional
Nurses with baby doll eyes
Don't bother to fake a smile
Voices of victims left dead
Echo like hospital halls

As you wipe your tears away
And the credits begin to roll

You will never be the same
Dead silence in your brain
Climactic and so cliche
Like love scenes in the rain

Silent film reel, horror pig squeals, a child's nightmare (help me)
Meeting deadlines making headlines
And if you are a good girl I will set you free
I'm just kidding, none of its true, none of its true

From this lonely padded cell
To the crowded gates of hell
