Midnight

This hallway was louder than the last  
The floorboards creaking could ruin the plans  
He gripped on to his knife and pull on his mask  
 
Creeping closer  
Heartbeat thumping  
Sounding like thunder  
 
Soon this would become someone's worst nightmare  
Bound and gagged  
Alone and hopeless  
At the will of a psychopath  
With no care  
 of life or death  
 
All flesh was the same to him  
Just a canvas  
 ready paint  
In any image he saw fit  
 
I will Deconstruct the deepest parts of you  
Opening your flesh to free the sins in you  
 
It's what you need  
It's what they told me to do  
The voices inside  
must have an eye in you  
   
I'm sorry this had to happen to you  
But the voices control me  
And there's nothing I can do  
Once they take a fancy to you  
It's just a matter of time  
Before they send me looking for you  
 
To peel the skin back  
 and look deep inside of you  
 
With each new layer I learn more  
All the secrets you thought would die with you  
 
Now they're mine to hold on to so dear  
Like the many souls I carry  
Stolen throughout all the years
