Intro (spoken, traumartig)
Midnight again.
The clock skips seconds.
I smell gasoline that isn’t there.

Verse 1
First time I saw him, December snow
Vincent was laughing, said business was slow
Jeremy smoked by the window, calm
Said “Boss, we’re untouchable” 
He was so  wrong

Black wings,Claws scratching at the frame
I thought it was nerves, thought it was rain
By dawn they zipped them, one by one
I stood there breathing, the only one

Chorus
He never takes me, never does
Leaves me standing in the blood
I ask him when, I ask him why
He just looks back and lets it die
One word, colder than the floor
Like I’ve heard it all before
He says Nevermore

Verse 2
Jeremy died on a Tuesday morning
Sun too bright, no sign of warning
They wired hell under his car
Two blocks later, nothing but stars

I heard the blast before the call
Felt the echo in my jaw
That night he came, same silent guest
Sat above me, unimpressed

Didn’t blame me, didn’t stare
Just watched smoke curl in the air
Like he knew the math by heart
Who would leave, who’d fall apart

Chorus
He never takes me, never does
Lets me carry what was us
I ask for sleep, I ask for peace
He feeds on everything but me
One word, carved in the door
Like a debt I can’t ignore
He says Nevermore

Bridge (spoken, fast → slow)
I dream in explosions.
I wake up counting names.
Vincent. Jeremy. Rosa.
All dead.
Still me.

If you’re death,
you’re bad at finishing jobs.

Verse 3
Third time now, I don’t flinch
Gun by the bed, bottle untouched
Rain writes lines on armored glass
Same bird waiting, letting time pass

I say, “If you came for me, don’t lie”
He tilts his head, one empty eye
No judgment, no release
Just patience dressed as peace

Final Chorus (leise, müde)
He never takes me, never will
Keeps me breathing against my will
No heaven waits, no hell pulls me
Just this chair and memory
One word, final score
Not mercy, not war
Just Nevermore

Outro
The car alarms fade.
The city sleeps.
The raven stays.
And I wake up
again.
