The Exorcist's Daughter

Your tongue, a scalpel leaves a kiss upon my throat My blood runs crimson apologies bleeding ink into the note And your voice echoes around in my mind Ghostly whispers floating through the corridors in my head Now that you're a spectre and still a stranger Drawn from a fractured memory Shell of what you used to be Somehow you're still new to me You are the devil in disguise I can see it in your eyes More so tonight than ever before Temptation came knocking upon my door But this road we've walked a thousand times without reaching anywhere at all And the shifting hands of time would love to see us fall I'll never return again it seems Know it now this is the last you will ever see I'm killing the nightmares to spite the dreams Alone with the demons you'll forever be You are the devil in disguise I can see it in your eyes More so tonight than ever before Temptation came knocking upon my door In this broken home I hope you'll find your peace I just wish the haunting can forever cease This heart once bright with love Now burns without your laughter
