I used to stand alone in the rain
Waiting for a friend to come by
All my lonely tears spiraled down the drain
Making my head spin as I cried
I used to hunt the streets at night
Searching for prey so I could survive
Holding to hope I would not be alone
Now I'm on my way, I'm on my way home
So please believe me when I say
I'd never throw your cares away
I'll trust in you time after time
I couldn't see your malevolent design
Skeleton hands and clockwork spine
Painting red around my face
Target set, I lose my place
The numbers written on me say
It does no good for you to pray
Your greedy hands grab and claw
At any justice you foresaw
Look down the bridge and tell me now
Can you see more than one way down
Unveiling springs and gears and cogs
You are reliving the wrath of gods
Ungrateful curs, your grievance grand
I can't go on with blood on my hand
So please believe me when I say
I'd never throw your cares away
I'll trust in you time after time
I couldn't see your malevolent design
Rusted heart and clockwork spine
Infected nails bind me to wooden spikes
An iron bar holding my arms up wide
My bloodied eyes, scratched out for the show
My filthy hands are dripping as blood flows
My empty maze, a home for no one else
No company that won't close for the kill
I am the ghost of the friend you forgot
The end is near, if I am ready or not
So please believe me when I say
I'd never throw your cares away
I'll trust in you time after time
I couldn't see your malevolent design
Rotten brain and clockwork spine
