The Death of Michael Corleone

[Verse 1]
I keep waking up at 3 in the morning
Cause I got demons in my sleep and my body is trying to warn me
Desire, despair, so many restless nights
I know I gotta be alone until I get this right
My mind is going in circles and I really want it to stop
I got this monkey on my back and somehow I gotta get it off
Her memory keeps calling me back
And I’m haunted, but if I got what I wanted would I want it in fact?
Love is a flame, its a devil’s thing
And if you can’t stand pain don’t get involved in this game
The moon is burning in the sky, I’m blinded by the light
My soul could never have peace, what a terrible night
And I know there’s no more mercy left for me
I’m like Michael Corleone in Godfather 3
And as my flesh gets weak you see my ashes will scatter
I’m just trying to get down to the heart of the matter

[Hook]
Well we all have a face that we hide away forever
And take them out to show ourselves when everyone has gone
Though you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fire
You’ll give into your desire when the stranger comes along

[Verse 2]
Don’t take a chance with me cause I don’t care if you like me
And I’ll make you feel all alone and cold and broken just like me
And I really don’t want the pain to end
It won’t stop until I give it to everyone I can
And I’ve been hurt so many times that its turned me heartless
But when I hurt other people it’s like a form of catharsis
And my soul is tormented so it’s just I suffer
And I’ve done so much I’m not even loved by my mother
And I’m all by myself in silence like a broken man
I just wanna go back to where it all began
But it’s far too late, you see I’ve done too much
I destroyed and fucked up everything I touched
Cause life was just a game to me
You see I’ve got nobody even my family is ashamed of me
And every single memory that I have hurts me
I’m burning in hell and won’t ask the lord for mercy

[Hook]
Well we all have a face that we hide away forever
And take them out to show ourselves when everyone has gone
Though you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fire
You’ll give into your desire when the stranger comes along

[Verse 3]
So let’s kiss and just say goodbye
Because I know in my soul I’m going down to die
I’m on this trip alone, I’ve got shit to learn
And you could never have me, you’ll just get your turn
And I’m just trying to find some kinda peace of mind
I met too many women who wanna waste my time
Nothing changes, I’m the stranger, I still don’t belong
And loving me is dangerous and it feels so wrong
Don’t ever come to my world, if you can stay away
I’m not a savior or rest haven for wayward strays
And I’m just like the drug that’s flowing through your veins
Cause I’m candy-coated poison but I’ll still heal your pain
I’ll make you feel insane every time you hear my name
I’ll make you never forget me, but to me you’re all the same
And everything you’ve known about me is wrong
You’ll give into your desire every time the stranger comes along

[Hook]
Well we all have a face that we hide away forever
And take them out to show ourselves when everyone has gone
Though you drown in good intentions you will never quench the fire
You’ll give into your desire when the stranger comes along
