I saw you again, hiding behind your small window
Watching the people that rush on by
I know that you're scared of letting them into your bedroom
That maybe their sickness will spread to you
Well, I promise you…it already has


It was over the minute you saw them, their faces enraptured your heart
Now the cancer…is spreading all over, it rushes like fire through your veins
But let's just pretend again


You know, windows aren't mirrors...they noticed your curious stares
They're hell-bent on finding a way to you
And yes they will love, but only to soften your skin
They'll rape and devour what you offer them
And even what you've tried all this time to hide


They will have you; they'll crash all your borders,
And sing you sweet words till you let them inside you
They'll leave you the widow, before ever taking a bride
So let's just pretend a bit more


There's no time, step away from the window, the splinters will cut inside
The sound of glass breaking leaves an open, fatal wound


Oh, how it bleeds...
The knife in your side is the promise that you'd never be all alone
The gun is a love song, the bullet that shattered your window
They'll leave you for dead
With a hole in your head
So let's not pretend anymore...
