I've calculated the distance
from my steady hand to your heart.
And I honed the blade on my anger
now I stand behind you in the dark.

You're breathing in and breathing out for one last time.

Cos I won't lie no I won't lie for you any more.

So turn around friend and face me
don't tell me now you're surprised.
Your lovers all will desert you
let me ease that pain with this knife.

You're breathing in and breathing out for one last time.

Cos I won't lie no I won't lie for you.
And I know I'm born with a prophet's curse
never see the good only see the worst
but in time the snake will split his skin
to reveal another snake within.

You're breathing in and breathing out for the final last time.

And I know I'm born with a prophet's curse
never see the good only see the worst
but in time the snake will split his skin to reveal another snake within.
