Versuri
[Verse 1]
I see the paths before they're walked
I hear the words before they're talked
And when you looked at him today
I saw exactly what you'd pay
You thought I wouldn't notice
The way your eyes lingered long
You thought because I'm quiet
That I couldn't prove you wrong
But nothing gets past me
Nothing ever does
I see the ending coming
Before it even was
[Pre-Chorus]
He doesn't know I'm watching
He laughs and steals my food
He thinks my silence means I'm calm
He doesn't understand my mood
But you...
You should have known better
You should have seen my face
You picked the wrong person
To target in this place
[Chorus]
You shouldn't have touched him
You shouldn't have looked
You shouldn't have written
That page in his book
You shouldn't have threatened
What's mine to protect
You shouldn't have given me
Reason to select
Your name
Your fate
Your final breath
You shouldn't have touched him
Now dance with death
[Verse 2]
His eyes light up the darkness
His laugh could tame the sea
He fidgets when he's nervous
And he only stills with me
Ten years I've known his heartbeat
Ten years I've known his scars
Ten years I've watched him fall asleep
And wished upon the stars
That I could be the reason
He never knows true fear
That I could be the shelter
That keeps him safe in here
Here in this moment
Here in my chest
Here where I keep him
Here where you rest
Rest in the knowledge
Rest in the dread
Rest in the promise
Of what lies ahead
[Bridge]
(Spoken, quiet, terrifying)
My Third Eye is open.
I see you running.
I see you hiding.
I see you begging.
I see your future.
It ends with me.
It ends with him safe.
It ends with you...
Gone.
[Guitar/Instrumental Break - Heavy, building, chaotic]
[Final Chorus - Screamed, raw, unhinged]
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TOUCHED HIM!
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DARED!
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT
THAT I WOULDN'T BE PREPARED!
HIS NAME IS NEO!
SAY IT WHEN YOU BLEED!
HIS NAME IS NEO!
THE ONLY ONE I NEED!
HIS FACE! HIS EYES! HIS STUPID FANGS!
HIS LAUGH! HIS TOUCH! THE WAY HE HANGS
HIS ARM AROUND MY SHOULDER LIKE
HE OWNS THE VERY AIR I BREATHE!
AND YOU—
YOU—
YOU TOOK THAT FROM ME?
[Outro - Heavy breathing, then quiet, cold calm]
My katana is already drawn.
You just haven't seen it yet.
I have.
I always do.
[Silence.]
[A single, soft breath.]
"He's waiting for me at home.
I should wash his scars for him.
He always forgets."
...Goodnight.
