You promised you would not go without me.
You promised you would not go without me.

Heart was battered a couple of times by the same , same , same , old, damn same lover
I cried wolf a couple of times
So, don’t mind if they don’t believe when I tell them of our love

Silly girl
These zeros you kept counting
Tried to multiply, but always ended up with the same
They played pictionary with your soul
Cropped your heart into catching flues,
no respect for the cues
Picture I’m-perfect
Impossible to realise they were imposters paid to assassinate my soul?

But this time, I found beautiful dark silk
He popped the question with a little black case
The pop reminded me of the murderers’ gunshots
The black case was a weapon of mass destruction
They must be related?

Wanted dead or alive
If I was shot dead I suppose the only thing that can bring me back to life is a gun, shot?
They all pulled the trigger
But this one, this one gave me life

I sat quietly at his bedside
His ring on my ring finger
It was time for another shot
He whispered ” I’m dying”
He didn’t know he was pulling the trigger again.

If I was brought back to life by a gunshot
I suppose it is expected that another shot takes me outSoul dancing with my spirit in the body that now holds them hostage
Far, far away from you

Singing lullabies on our way to the grave
That was the mission given
You promised you would not go without me?
You promised you would not go without me.

Man down.

Mama told me that love is the worst murderer,
No respect for no man
I should have believed her
You dying murderer. Take me with you?

Man Down.
