Sleuth

Driven out of the valley for a cheap thrill
Killed the engine at the corner on a silent hill
Look for truth in the Tinseltown night
Seemed to sway and say that you're not human

My client lying low, I couldn't protect him
Or the necklace, when it all went South
Your silhouette sapped me out
But when I came to, heard your voice say
Something hateful and name your name

Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger on my back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze

When it dawned on me, the face of the offender
Through my piercing head, the chain of the events
As headlights shone on the ridgeline
Someone's nearby, I froze like a corpse had set
Her upward advantage when she started shouting commands
And there's a gun in her hand
And there's fear in your voice
Revealing the meeting that brought you up to the void

Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger in the back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze

Why'd you spare me the pain?
Following the promises your lie erased
When you're the dark passenger on my back
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
Falling in the onyx of your dying gaze
