Intruder

I could listen to you scream

Pretty music to my ears

I could listen to it all day

If you want me to

I could talk about my world

How you brought about ruin

I could talk about your greed

If you want me to

I could look into evil

See a heart just like mine

I could throw away reason

If you want me to

I could walk into darkness

Find the hole you crawled in to

I will be the intruder

If you want me to

You can whisper your Lord's Prayer

And pretend that it matters

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?

You can hide in the shadows

And pretend I won't find you

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?

I could listen to more lies

About promises you kept

Will you walk on water

Like you said you would?

I could make you my prisoner

But you were dead men talking

When you burned the oceans

Like you said you would

You can beg for God's mercy

And pretend that He hears you

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?

You can drown in your sorrow

And pretend you were helpless

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?

This was always your one life

I won't pretend that it matters

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?

This was always your one home

I won't pretend that I'll miss you

But don't you wish you'd just listened more?
