i hope you dance

Elijah

Another one bites the dust

For being naive enough to trust

The lies that you so calmly whisper

Thinking you meant it when you kissed her

Believing that life was worth living

Accepting the lies that you kept giving

And as her heart pounds in her chest

You are the cause of her unrest

A failure still, as you have won

She watches the blood start to run

Before her eyes, her life flashes not

For she’d much rather have forgot

All the hell you put her through

Aren’t you proud of what you can do?

She lies with the knife still in her hand

With bloody legs that will never stand

Her body found, a mangled mess

The problem to never be addressed

Your cruelty that will never die

Though you have a thorough alibi

You murder cleanly, without a touch

Your method has been perfected too much

Add one to your score: a victim lost to your lust

As by your hand another one bites the dust
