The Coward
I found him lying there on the floor
He did not breathe
Looked around but to my chagrin
I was surrounded
By a scene of morbid despair (suffering souls)
And I waited for the knife to find me
But luckily I was alone
Escape, pretend you were never here
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
So I go back
I taste the horror
I stare blankly, don't know where to begin
The smell consumes me
One by one I cover them all (say my goodbyes)
Then I slowly find my way into the night
Only this time I'm not alone
You had your chance but it's over now
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
I'm begging you please let me go
I'll pretend I did not see a thing
Rip out my tongue, yea
Let me go
And I'll tell them you were never here
I'll swear to them that it was me
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
I am a bastard but I'm alive
I'm so sorry for what I've done
He did not breathe
Looked around but to my chagrin
I was surrounded
By a scene of morbid despair (suffering souls)
And I waited for the knife to find me
But luckily I was alone
Escape, pretend you were never here
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
So I go back
I taste the horror
I stare blankly, don't know where to begin
The smell consumes me
One by one I cover them all (say my goodbyes)
Then I slowly find my way into the night
Only this time I'm not alone
You had your chance but it's over now
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
I'm begging you please let me go
I'll pretend I did not see a thing
Rip out my tongue, yea
Let me go
And I'll tell them you were never here
I'll swear to them that it was me
I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name
I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
I am a bastard but I'm alive
I'm so sorry for what I've done
