You Will Know

The night will crawl along it's course
like the hatred in my veins
and as I hold this knife to your neck
I beg you, defy me...

remember, all the nights
I was trapped here like a dog
whose chewed its master's slippers
you locked me up in here

every single time you speak
I think of everything you've taken from me
you're the reason I can't have a normal life
now you will die, fear me...

Because this time I have the power
I have this sharp knife, and I'm lurking
behind the door like you did as you listened
while I poured my broken heart out

by definition, do you love me?
or do you love the way I'm an event
the way my presence gives your life meaning
I am the only reason you're not a deadbeat

so that's why you're bringing me down, choking me
every bruise I receive is a souvenir
of the life I deserve, but will never have
I can't believe that once I was happy

I'm whispering all this to you now
as a drop of your blood glistens on my knife
and I'm laughing, because you're at my mercy
images of all you've done to me are a filmstrip in my head...

You're finally paying for it
you're finally gonna pay
All I want to do is laugh and sing and laugh
because you're paying for it, oh, you're paying for it...

My knife presses deep, and slides along
your blood is spilling onto the floor
and as the carpet absorbs the sweet red blood
I laugh, because you know...

...you know what you've done to me.
