Giallo

I dream that on the day I killed you I pulled on my black leather gloves I drew the kitchen knife across you And hung you up with dancing doves And paralyzing poison slowly Takes its toll upon the nerves If only I could find the courage If only I could find the words Extravaganzas of death await you In loud crescendos, they won't hear a sound Of opera music weeping lit by candles And white dove feathers on the ground As I drew my knife across you A marble throat that's ringed in pearls Now pink with blood, ice sculptures melting And singers chanting Latin words And in the night thoughts come to haunt us Our dreams are places in the dark Moving through with a bitter magic But laced with a maestro's heart And on the mirror in the bathroom My name there in the scarlet dye But I know they'll never catch me I'll be gone with your last sigh We're haunted by the thoughts that stalk us They slowly creep upon us in the night Escaping from the shadows where they're hiding A place where all our demons fight Behind our eyes we keep our secrets hidden But they are there for all to see Now I'm waiting for the dead hour When you rise and come for me So, keep your demons locked within you Lock them safely from the world Keep your demons locked within you Lock them safely from the world Keep your demons locked within you
