Melanie Martinez
Death (Demo)
[Verse 1]
Can't sleep, I won't eat
You're perishing before me
I'm panicked and rot at the core
Your words, they still haunt me
Like shadows on the concrete
The pain spreads like vines in my bones
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't tell me that you're going far away like that
I thought that distance was a string that would lead us back
Now I'm in the middle contemplating what my fickle heart
Really gained from the way that I left it with you
[Chorus]
Death has come
It knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I’d put thе pieces back
But I burned all my chancеs
Took good time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen
[Verse 2]
I hide in your corners
Peek over your shoulders
It's strange how you're missing me now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hearts breaking 'cause I'm going far away like that
You thought the distance was a string that would lead us back
Now you’re in the middle contemplating what your fickle
Heart really gained from the way that you left it with me
[Chorus]
Death has come
It knocks on my door like a stalker
Don't answer, answer
My ego won, I'd put the pieces back
But I burned all my chances
Took good time for granted, oh
The knife keeps twisting
So much I'm regretting, oh
Next time, I'll listen
