Settle Murder
I was trying hard to remember her name
It's been so long since I'd seen her last
Her face was the only thing that remained
Pale and innocent on a scandalous frame
She was sitting cross legged
Her foot like a clock
Ticking nervously
It never stopped
She swallowed my face and devoured my eyes
I hadn't changed
She knew I hadn't changed
She's just a memory now
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
Give back what you've taken from me."
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
You knew me once and you threw me away."
At night we'd walk under the trees
We'd joke about being burnt by the moon
She always said she wanted everything
She held my hand tighter as we neared a park bench
Nostalgia's king when your nights are alone
I swam his seas before I found someone
And there she was
Locking eyes with a stranger
She was busy wishing she had time to change this
She's just a memory now
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
Give back what you're taken from me."
"Murder!", she cried, "You devil,
You knew me once and you threw me away."
Murder!
