The Exorcist's Daughter

Your tongue, a scalpel
Leaves a kiss upon my throat
My blood runs crimson apologies
Bleeding ink into the note

And your voice echoes around in my mind
Ghostly whispers floating through the corridors in my head
Now that you're a spectre
And still a stranger
Torn from a fractured memory
A shell of what you used to be
Still, somehow you're new to me

You are the devil in disguise
I can see it in your eyes
More so tonight than ever before
Temptation came knocking upon my door

But this road we've walked a thousand times
Without reaching anywhere at all
And the shifting hands of time would love to see us fall

I'll never return again it seems
Know it now this is the last you'll ever see

I'm killing the nightmares
To spite the dreams
Alone with the demons
You'll forever be

You are the devil in disguise
I can see it in your eyes
More so tonight than ever before
Temptation came knocking upon my door

In this broken home
I hope you'll find your peace
I just wish the haunting could forever cease

This heart, once bright with love
Now burns
Without your laughter
