lyrics

I return to sender
All that you intended
Do you remember
What you did to me
An enchanted future
Of you and I together
Writing and playing
Has been thrown into the sea

Only knew you from church
Love
A distant memory
Sliding down the bannister
Sweet as can be
As we grew older
You helped people to their seats
Couldn't have known
So much more behind the scenes
I didn't want to see

Forgot my cap
that night I headed back
Screams from the basement
Ran downstairs
Everyone in black
And lying on an altar
You were dressed in
Nothing but air

Like a deer in headlights
I froze for a second
Didn't know whether
To run or stare
They threw you a robe and
Closed in on me sharply
But the fabric made them trip
And I got out of there

Keep getting the strangest feeling
Someone is following
Pentagrams float
On the froth in my latte
Looked in the mirror
I aged 20 years in a day
That whole cursed coven
Must have thrown hexes my way
Make me feeling weak
It was a good run
But there goes my lucky streak

Lying in bed
I put it to the Lord
Save me from the devil's horde
Lights dim
Off to drift
The answer flew in

Fight fire with fire
Just this once

Uh
Ok, but
What do they
Want with me
A quiet choir boy
That don't know how to sing

I return to sender
All that you intended
God has allowed me
An indulgence dear
Broke the magic circle
Countered the sigils
See what happens
With a proper prayer

The pain you caused
Now is your own
Justice is here
I'm not alone
