A soul lost in a love went wrong
Unfaithful hearts yield bleeding results
A romance ended with two bullets and a knife
Used to cut out your heart for my display
Tell me love, did you pay the boatman?
Or did I forget to put the pennies on your eyes?
May your lack of a soul rot in hell for the rest of days
Calculating your imminent death and all of the ways
I could end your life at a moment's notice
Rest now child, your peace with death is soon to come
This is how I beat you and how the west was won
A hammer and an axe to keep you in check
How could you expect to get away with this?
Was an eternity not long enough for you?
Shed the night's sorrow, it'll all be over soon
And then you won't feel a God damned thing
Sheets turned from white to red
In a moment of a crime of passion
Tell me dear, did the boatman take you across?
Or did he kick your ass to the curb?
The scars on my shoulders
Will remind me of our pain
But I'm sure what you went through was worse
A knife isn't usually too forgiving
And a wound doesn't heal instantly
I loved you once but you let me down
I loved you twice and you turned it around
I loved you thrice and shame on me
I loved you four and not again
It's so much easier if you don't struggle
And it won't take as long to bleed out
Understand hon, I did this for you and I
I did this so that you and I could die
