I see a smiling face and I want to paint it black, No colors anymore, I want to turn the friendship black. I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes, I have to turn my head until my darkness goes. I see a line of trust and I’ve decided to attack, With a jagged, silver blade, I’ll put a knife in your back. I look inside myself and see my heart is cold, I’ve left my loyalty in stories never told. I see your happy life, I’ve painted it all black, There’s no turning back now, I’ve put a knife in your back. Maybe if I wait, you’ll see the light fade out, But I’ll be standing there, removing every doubt. I’ve spent the hours counting every crack upon the wall, I’m waiting for the moment that I watch your kingdom fall. I’ve sewn the velvet curtains shut to keep the morning out, I’m feeding on the wreckage of your dying, gasping doubt. The tea is turning bitter with the secrets that I keep, I’m the shadow in the corner while you’re drifting into sleep. I’ve carved your name in cedar, I’ve buried all the keys, I’m bringing all your arrogance down slowly to its knees. There is no map for mercy in the labyrinth I’ve spun, I’ll be the final heartbeat when your race is finally run. So close your eyes, my darling, let the darkness take its hold, I’m turning all your silver into lead and biting cold. I’ve watched the garden wither, I’ve watched the roses die, I’m stitching up the silence where you used to tell your lie. The floorboards know my footsteps, they whisper where you hide, There’s nowhere left to run now, there’s nowhere left to bide. I’m the ink upon the parchment, I’m the poison in the vein, I’m the one who’ll hold the candle while you dance within the rain No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue, I could not foresee this thing happening to you. If I look hard enough into the setting sun, My love will laugh with me before the morning comes. I want to see it black, Painted black, Black as night, Black as coal, I’ve got the knife in your back, Yeah, I’ve got the knife in your back.
