The Invitation

it's happening again

but this time you know it isn't real

you know it's a mistake

but mistakes are all you ever get

once you thought you'd found a way

but now you know you should have known

nothing ever rhymes

and you know you should have just gone home

the darkness around the corner wore her name

a name that you knew well

you knew that she was trouble

and you knew you just could not leave it alone

and when the invitation came

you knew it was an introduction to the end

so this is how it ends

oh well i guess you should have guessed

it's happening again

but this time there's violence in your eyes

violent and strange they seem to stray

as if they're always on their way

but as they see her shadow edging around the corner

they just don't know where to go

nothing ever rhymes

and you know you should just go home

cold, when you see that girl you get cold

when you see that girl

you thought that your luck would turn

you always thought that your luck would turn

never thought that you'd lose your nerve

you never thought that you'd lose your nerve

but you get cold when you see that girl

you get cold when you see that girl
