(Last line, whispered, sinister)
I’ll return
You think you won when you walked out the door
You think your silence ended this war
Every word you threw, every laugh you spent
I’m counting them all, I’m counting on you
I wore my wounds like medals on my chest
Every compromise left me less and less
You thought you’d break me, thought I’d bend
But broken things don’t break clean, they just mend
I’m the shape in your doorway
I’m the knife you didn’t see
I’m the nightmare waking you up
I’m the one you thought was through
I’ll return
Like a curse you thought you’d buried
Like a shadow where you sleep
I’m the knife you didn’t see
I am a wizard, you know
(Laughter)
I found the nerve to take your best shot
You swung so hard you missed the plot
Every little victory you claimed
Just fed the hunger of the flames
I’m the shape in your doorway
I’m the knife you didn’t see
I’m the nightmare waking you up
I’m the one you thought was through
(Laughter grows, then fades)
