The Death of Simpson 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
