lyrics

You collect people like prey
You, you seemed to keep me alive
Just like meat under sharp knives
I trust and you betray

Few people stay by my side
They say “I’m sorry but I tried”
Suddenly everyone’s gone
In the end, everyone dies alone

Would it be too much to ask?
Would it be too much to ask?
For you, to show up at my funeral
Come and shed a tear for show
Come and shed a tear for show
I bet you’ll smile beneath your mask

Please, tell my family
Who really caused this casualty
You were the first one to light the matches
My old self dusted to ashes
