lyrics

There's a tapping at the door
A little shadow in the morgue
An empty playground fading in the dying light

There's a letter on the desk
An urgent message from the past
It says "Now don't do something that you might regret"

And all I wanted was just a little proof
That there was something more to this
Something more to me and you

And all I wanted was some time to just pretend
A little place for being zen
Without evil creeping in


And every second that I waste
Leaves in my mouth an awful taste
The flame it flickers, snickers before going out

And every bottom that I've reached
Each one that brings me to my knees
The memories they hold make me want to give in

And all I wanted was just a little proof
That there was something more to this
Something more to me and you

And all I wanted was some time to just pretend
A little place for being zen
Without evil creeping in

The dirt that's caked under my nails
Tells the worlds most awful tales
Of all the graves I've dug but never fallen in

The question lingers on my lips
Just one of many little quips
"If this is live, what kind of tragedies come next?"

And all I wanted was just a little proof
That there was something more to this
Something more to me and you

And all I wanted was some time to just pretend
A little place for being zen
Without evil creeping in
