I was having a nice time, enjoying life.
Suddenly the room gets cold, and I look around.
There I see you, flaunting yourself like you ain't lowlife.
And I understand why the world around us got frowns.
There ain't holes in my heart,
But there's your name on that chit.
I was gonna look for you, but you did me a favor.
Let me show you what you've been missing: all the flavor.
I introduce myself, you don't know me.
I ask to speak to you, so you worry.
I whisper sweet words in your ear and you freeze.
Like you've seen the ghost of someone you seize.
Didn't think I'd find you, and I know what you've done.
Go ahead ask for help, pull out a gun.
Like a town crier, I bring your sins to light so you may repent.
You can call me Azrael, your angels of death await.
Benevolent, I give you a choice.
Confess, spend your life in jail and sleep.
Or I'll collect the debt, rejoice,
And stop only when you're six feet deep.
Secretly, I hope you resist.
Think yourself untouchable, or too strong.
Give me an excuse to put your bones in a twist,
With poetic justice, I'll make you feel all that wrong.
You can run, but can't hide.
Not once I got you in my sight.
You could be twenty, and I'll just be one.
I'll outdo all and still have my fun.
You thought yourself above all,
Let me bring you back down to earth.
Fear when you don't have control and can't crawl,
I'll make you regret your birth.
I'll take you back to that time,
Inflict you all that pain.
Make you beg for death, but in vain,
As long as I live, you'll never reach that bedtime.
