Last Night

Last Night

I killed you last night
This is the afterlife
Why are you so surprised
To look me in the eyes
In a world we don't know
Far, far from all hope

I took my own life
When the light left your eyes
I can't bear the pain
Knowing of your escape
Your pain was not enough
To satisfy my taste

Vengeance controls me
You can’t leave in haste
How did you get away
When you died in my arms
And I died alone
The same way I lived
And because of you
I took my own life

Know I followed you here
Into the afterlife
Torn from a world of joy
Thanks to you I’m gone
And thanks to me they're safe
‘cus I killed you last night
This is the afterlife

You can’t imagine my regret
That while watching you sleep
A million times or more
I allowed you to live
You had all control
‘til you closed your eyes
And for the last time
You’re dreaming of me

As I watched you sleep
I wished you’d wake
With that look on your face
Like you lost all control
Welcome home
This is the afterlife

But now you're awake
dreams for eternity
reality, insanity
And so far away
What have you to say
Invite me to stay

"Act like you like this"

The words sounds so familiar
uttered from your mouth
within your demon house
Don’t you recall?

You said them to me
A secret to be
from everyone
Look at me now

Noone here to save you
This is the afterlife
And you’re here with me
For all eternity

Is such love such a curse?
Ironic it hurts so much.
It evades, yet awaits.
