Still Doll

Still Doll

1. Still Doll

Still Doll
(verse 1)
I miss Alice
she’s still here under the rickety floorboards
I mishear ghostly footsteps for her cold heartbeat
her still doll stares at me in bed
her still doll grows from her dread
 
(chorus)
don’t let me fall asleep
at dusk it creeps unto me
and sobs in screams
I swear as the days cross
the still doll looks more and more like her
does it possess her memory?
(end chorus)
 
(verse 2)
I miss Alice
she stabs away at time using the pointed hands of the clock
and the silent pendulum won’t be my shield
the still doll tolls my life’s bell
the still doll I drowned in a shallow well
 
(chorus)
don’t let me fall asleep
it still wishes to reap
its own sorrows
it’s after my wretched life
it’ll toy and stick a knife in my torso
and watch me bleed so
do you not answer?
(end chorus)
