(Instrumental)

I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come a knocking, knocking at my door

And I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

Now you've got me crawling, sprawled on the floor

And I've never known a girl like you before

You've made me acknowledge the Devil in me

I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically

Hope that I'm talking allegorically

Know that I'm talking about the way I feel

And I've never known a girl like you before

Never, never, never, never

I've never met a girl like you before...

Midnight chimes ring out again

Beckoning the twisted nightmares to descend

Upon me and deep into my mind

To prey upon stray rays of hope left dying inside...

My gothic heart cries to be set free

From darkness (my mistress), and her reverie

I yearn to feel pure rays upon my skin

To forget the brooding shadow brewing sin...

Somewhere I know you hold the key

The sacred prose, the words to set me free

Wolves cry unto the moon outside

Calling their brethren to take my life

Will you help bring about my demise

As they tear my flesh and feast on me tonight?

My gothic heart cries to be released

Before darkness reaches out her hand to me

Will she take me deep into the night

To forget the love, the torch that burnt so bright?

Sometimes you may find

I can’t look you in the eye

Because it’s not easy to hide

Such a besotted state of mind

So I feel it’s best to say

Nothing which may incriminate

Or unveil the foolish truth

I can’t help but think about you

In your eyes I see a dream of such vibrant life and prosperity

And even though it’s no place for me, when you’re there I’ll know I can

R.I.P.

Every day you seem to be

Closer to perfections peak

Making it hard to contemplate

Much else when I meet your gaze

And I know I’m not the only one

To be entranced and come undone

But I claim something unique

I know you’ll thrive in life regardless of me

In good time we’ll see your dreams become a part of life’s rich tapestry

And although you’ll reach it without me, I want you to know that I’ll

R.I.P.
