lyrics

No,
Oh Dear God,
No

There’s some that may think
I’ve gone mad
I swear you couldn’t,
Be more wrong
With such an evil,
That he had,
I knew this couldn’t
Be prolonged.
I felt it look into,
My soul,
I watched him take in,
His last breath
This day, I take on,
A new role,
This is the day I,
Become death

This gift can’t be a curse
(It’s time, now rise, rebel)
I’ve heard the heavens and the earth
(I’ve heard many things in hell)
I know it’s me he haunts
(Did I choose this out of greed?)
This is no longer a want
(This is no longer a want)
This has become a need
(This has become a need)

How could I sleep at night,
With so much blood on my hands?
It’s only cause I’ve known
This was always my plan

I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well,
But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep
(Oh no)
These walls hold a story that I dare not tell
(Dare not tell)
Skeletons not meant for closets
Lay buried beneath my feet.

This can't be right,
It’s all in my head.

I swear to God
It’s still beating

It is the beating of his hideous heart
I always knew that it would come to this
All I’ve done here is created art
He’ll never know his ignorance was my bliss
I hear it beating (3x)
It is the beating of his hideous heart

Harbor your thoughts please,
And halt your lungs,
For they can't ever know,
They must never know what we have done

I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well,
But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep
(Oh no)
These walls hold a story that I dare not tell
(Dare not tell)
Skeletons not meant for closets
Lay buried beneath my feet.

Stay hidden from your conscience
I dare not speak a word
I hold my thoughts to myself
Lest my desires be heard
But I’ve delved way too far
Into my own mind,
And I no longer fear
What I know I’ll find

I’ve held my tongue now, and I’ve held it well,
But there’s a secret that I just can’t keep
(Oh no)
These walls hold a story that I dare not tell
(Dare not tell)
Skeletons not meant for closets
Lay buried beneath my feet.
