• i get inside
    my black dress
    and take a look.
    tonight
    i can pretend.
    tonight
    i dont have to be
    the same.

    put makeup
    under my eyes.
    for you,
    i can try.
    for you,
    my life can be fine.
    ill make it so.

    would i cry for you?
    a million tears
    ive cried.
    would i die for you?
    a million fears
    inside
    that ive hidden
    because i didnt think
    youd understand.

    even when we were
    hand in hand,
    i knew you wouldnt
    understand.

    its midnight here.
    how about there?
    i know youll never
    sleep
    tonight.

    slip on black shoes--
    the kind you
    cant ever walk in--
    and stumble to
    the door.
    im sick of wishing
    that you were here.
    of remembering
    how things were
    a year
    ago.

    would i lie to you?
    ive done it
    before.

    would i try for you?
    i did.
    now its my turn
    again.
    my
    "time to dance."
    will you be my
    one last chance
    at being in love?
    my heart is broken
    and bleeding
    on the floor
    like the stained glass windows
    of a church.

    lets run up the steps
    and through the isles,
    hand in hand.
    shes coming for me.
    dont let her get me
    as we file
    through these doors.

    please.
    dont let her get me.

    i tripped up.
    i slipped up.
    and now were falling
    and cracking our heads
    on the stone
    floors.
    we're bleeding...
    and we're laughing.
    we're dying...
    and we're laughing!

    you know shell get us
    even
    in here--
    in the steeple,
    theres no way.
    in hell we're safe.

    gold candles flickering,
    burning down
    and down
    these walls around us.
    red and blue eyes crying.

    tears
    and fears
    are all you can hear.
    bloody handprints
    on the walls.
    a knife thrown
    through the window.

    you say we can make it.
    we can still run--
    in these shoes i cant walk in.
    just leave me here.
    i deserve to just
    die.

    would i die for you?
    i will
    and constantly am.

    you say you wont leave.
    you pick me up.
    you lift me up
    and try to run.
    but well die
    inevitably.
    the shock is only setting in
    for you.
    we will be fine.
    our drowsy eyes
    will finally find sleep.
    you say we cant go that easily.

    BANG.
    she opens the doors.
    shes found us.
    its over now.

    BANG.
    shes shot you--
    silver bullets and all.
    you drop dead
    and drop me.

    i am the one she wants.
    would i die for you?
    of course.

    and all you can do now
    is helplessly watch
    in horror
    as she places a hand
    over your mouth
    so the screams wont come out.
    she kisses you.
    she puts the mask
    over my face.
    her icy breath enveloping me.
    and you can only watch
    in horror
    as blue eyes turn black.

    youre next.

    would you die for me?
    too late
    to answer.
    red eyes turn brown.

    yet, shes unsatisfied.
    she needs more blood
    to drink.
    she picks up
    the cup at the alter.
    dips it in our
    pool of blood.
    and as it touches her lips,
    she sees my image
    staring back
    with icy black eyes.
    forever blank,
    forever staring.
