I can feel your breath on my neck
Hanging over me
Watching while I sleep
Every move I make
You manipulate
Never hesitating to take my life away
I can see the glow from the outside
Coming in
I know you're ready to begin
My heartbeat is a loose end
Don't come knocking at my door
Angel waiting for my soul
Don't got nothing left to give
Hiding from the kiss of death
Don't come knocking at my door
Angel waiting for my soul
Don't got nothing left to give
Hiding from the kiss of death
Your presence moves like water
Flowing getting hotter
Feel it in this room
Never ending haunting
Always wanting
I'm begging you
Set me free
I can see your shadow through my window coming in
I know you're ready to begin
My heartbeat is a loose end
Don't come knocking at my door
Angel waiting for my soul
Don't got nothing left to give
Hiding from the kiss of death
Don't come knocking at my door
Angel waiting for my soul
Don't got nothing left to give
Hiding from the kiss of death
