lyrics

It's 1 PM and I just woke up
I should have gone to bed much earlier
It's just so hard when your inner clock ignores the sun
And a moment of uninterrupted peace is what you yearn for

I haul my sorry self downstairs
Still only half awake and barely even ten percent alive
They make the same old jokes, but I don't really care
They don't know what it's like to be so close, and yet so far behind

Wait, there, further down the hall
A pool of red from underneath the door
It's Simpson, a tenant like the rest
Vacant, with an ice pick in his chest

Stricken down in cold-blooded murder
With not a clue of who’s to blame
I blinked my eyes and my world was shattered
Was it my destiny to see the death of Simpson

Father and mother
Someone call for aid
He's losing blood and he is fading, fading quickly
From the living realm
I'm sorry son, the telephone
Won't work, he can't be saved

I can't believe my own eyes
This horrid act of brutal homicide

Poor Simpson
A tenant just like us
From ashes
To ashes, dust to dust

Stricken down in cold-blooded murder
With not a clue of who’s to blame
We blinked our eyes and our world was shattered
Is it our destiny to share the fate of Simpson

Looking on in disbelief
Still reeling from the gruesome scene
I hear the sound of little feet and
My heart is torn into pieces

It's Simpson’s one and only daughter
She only just turned six
Curiosity turns into horror
As she notices

Struggle
To find the words to say
Buckle
Underneath the weight of Simpson
Broken
The thoughts inside her head
Chosen
Not to understand what's happened

Struggle
To find the words to say
Buckle
Underneath the weight of Simpson
Broken
The thoughts inside her head
Chosen
Not to understand that he's been

Stricken down in cold-blooded murder
With not a clue of who’s to blame
She blinked her eyes and her whole world was shattered
Is it our destiny to disappear

Left to wonder
What misfortune
Could befall them now
