Underneath the Pillows
I heard you scream
Everyone you know is starting to settle down
A tainted bloodstream
I just want to hear about this life you've found
You told me last night in your dream
I made you a promise i would hang around
I didn't know what awful was til you skipped town
I didn't know what awful was til you skipped town
I could've sworn as you rose
Your obituary was written in prose
I'd never seen your father cry
I don't see him anymore i wonder why
How could i tell your mother that
The second that i left was when they called me back
If i had to
Come home i would need you
I ask myself if i killed you
If i could think about it i wouldn't want to
If i had to kill you
I guess i would but i wouldn't want to
If i had to kill you
I guess i would but i wouldn't want to
