The Blackened Memory - The Tell-Tale Heart

[chorus]
Thump-thump, hear that beat, it’s the heart I tore,
Guilt’s a blade, cuts me deep, hauntin’ evermore.
Thump-thump, in my head, echoes never fade,
Tell-tale heart won’t let me rest, I’m trapped in this charade.

[verse]
Deed is done, blood is spilled, hid him ‘neath the floor,
Cleaned the scene, no trace left, thought I’d won the war.
But that sound, that cursed pulse, creepin’ through the wood,
Beatin’ loud, like a judge, sayin’ I ain’t good.
Cops at the door, smilin’ wide, think they got no clue,
Actin’ calm, playin’ cool, but my fear breaks through.
Sweat drips down, walls close in, hear that rhythm climb,
Heart’s a snitch, spillin’ truth, screamin’ out my crime.

[verse]
Mind’s a cage, locked inside, with that endless sound,
Every thump, like a ghost, spinnin’ me around.
Tried to hide, tried to lie, but the truth won’t bend,
That old man’s pulse, like a curse, brings my world to end.
Screamin’ now, rip the boards, show the world my sin,
Guilt’s too heavy, crushin’ me, let the devils in.
No escape, no release, from this hell I made,
Tell-tale heart, my own snitch, in this grave I’m laid.

[verse] Creepin’ in the dark, shadows hug the wall, Old man’s eye, like a curse, got me feelin’ small. Vulture gaze, cold and blue, chills my wicked soul, Plannin’ deep, every night, till I lose control. Silent steps, floorboards creak, lantern’s dim light gleams, Heart’s a drum, poundin’ loud, madness overflows. I’m the reaper in the night, movin’ soft and sly, Gotta end that evil stare, gotta make it die. [chorus] Thump-thump, hear that beat, it’s the heart I tore, Guilt’s a blade, cuts me deep, hauntin’ evermore. Thump-thump, in my head, echoes never fade, Tell-tale heart won’t let me rest, I’m trapped in this charade.
