lyrics

Mrs. Grim:

I walked out with my hands and knees
Covered in, covered in blood.
The cops that surrounded me said "keep your hands above your head punk!"
And I can't remember what really did occur
Last night but right now she was out of mind and out of sight.

"Close your eyes, relax, and let me show you the world"
These words ring in my head while you sell me for gold.

You left me here to play the victim dear.
The blank space in my head
Leads to where you disappeared.
But as you all know by now things aren't always what they seem.
So I'll pick up the pieces to find Mrs. Grim.

You didn't plan this out, they released me due to lack of evidence.
With a monitor on my wrist on this house arrest from the circumstance.
And I retraced my steps to where I saw you last,
So I took my chances, ran away, hoping not too many days have passed.

To the cabin where you sold me out for gold.

You left me here to play the victim dear.
The blank space in my head
Leads to where you disappeared.
But as you all know by now things aren't always what they seem.
So I'll pick up the pieces to find Mrs. Grim.

How could she do such a thing without batting an eye?
I breach the door while hearing all the sirens closing nearby.

I close the door and head for the stairs,
My heart's beating fast, I know that she's there.
I enter the room and out of the blur,
Her body is lifeless, she's not moving a hair!

How could my mind play such tricks on me?
My hands are shaking as I fall to my knees,
She's not breathing!

The memories return as I'm touching her skin.
The cops rush inside to take me in.
You promised forever, so we'll be together when the morning comes.
If you wait for me, I will set you free.
We'll be together when the morning comes.

I should have seen this coming..
