The Art Collector
I caught you off guard
Laying on the hammock in my back yard
Now it's time to bring the havoc and the discord
All you can do is grovel
This is not a horror novel
This is real life,
I'm standing brandishing the knife,
Think twice, what you say,
I'm here to play
It's music to my ears
I know I'll bring myself to tears
When it's all over
Savoring this moment
I'll know I drove her
Insane from all this torment
So exciting, this feeling so inviting,
There is no point in fighting,
It's like lightning,
When it strikes it's frightening
Wondering who will be next,
Who's flesh I'll rend
This never ends, you can't defend
Or get away, make my day
It's all fun and games until you know you're getting maimed
Once you feel that rush you know you'll never be the same
There is no shame,
Let's paint a pretty picture frame,
Canvas is made
From the skin of victims flayed
Don't be afraid
This is the Horror Show,
Just let it go,
I know you'll be amazed.
You call me crazed?
Just think about what happened to the last one that just wouldn't stay
You want to be on salary,
Hanging in my gallery,
Or be getting paid hourly
With my affection showering?
A pretty piece to add to my collection
I'm sorry that you had to learn this lesson
In that manner with the hammer
That will never leave me guessing,
No more stressing,
Nothing grander
And it's because I belong to that nocturnal flow
My energy comes from somewhere down below
You will never know the way it grows,
It's taking hold, never gets old,
Let's let another tale unfold but let's not let it go untold,
Another one to add to my portfolio
A waitress at this place that's right next to the cemetery
By the time the clock hits nine she's going to wish she never met me
I drag her out to the mausoleum, ball gagged so no one can hear her scream,
I know she's wishing that it's all just a dream,
But it seems that her reality's unfolding at the seams,
And as I watch the beams of light fading from her eyes,
There's no goodbyes,
It's time to join the others, she will be a very handsome prize,
Now off to find another, 'cause eventually everyone dies
It's no surprise,
No reason to believe in leading a life that is full of lies
Laying on the hammock in my back yard
Now it's time to bring the havoc and the discord
All you can do is grovel
This is not a horror novel
