The Corner

I've made nothing but mistakes in my life up 'til now
I was hoping that the golden bird would pull me out somehow
And if I could turn back the time that dragged us to your door
I would un-live every minute, one by one
'Til the killing came undone
'Til the killing came undone

Now your picture is forever burned into my head
But I wish that it was me there lying motionless instead
And if there was a way that I could un-spill all that blood
I'd put every drop back in you, one by one
'Til the killing came undone
'Til the killing came undone

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And you will see the morning star
I won't follow where you are
I am destined for the corner
And the darkness beyond
And the darkness beyond

Well, I knew what I was doing, but I knew not why
I suppose I must have hated someone else from days gone by
And if I had another chance to live through that dark night
I would un-shoot every bullet, one by one
'Til the killing came undone
'Til the killing came undone

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And you will see the morning star
I won't follow where you are
I am destined for the corner
And the darkness beyond
And the darkness beyond

I'm ashamed of what I've done, but I must face it now
And the life that I have taken, I know nothing can replace it now
But if I had a thousand of my own lives to lay down
I would lay them all down for you, one by one
'Til the killing came undone
'Til the killing came undone

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And you will see the morning star
I won't follow where you are
I am destined for the corner
And the darkness beyond
And the darkness beyond
