The Corner

Lyrics

I've made nothing but mistakes in my life up 'til now I was hoping that the golden bird would pull me out somehow And if I could turn back the time that dragged us to your door I would un-live every minute, one by one 'Til the killing came undone 'Til the killing came undone Now your picture is forever burned into my head But I wish that it was me there lying motionless instead And if there was a way that I could un-spill all that blood I'd put every drop back in you, one by one 'Til the killing came undone 'Til the killing came undone [Chorus] Close your eyes And you will see the morning star I won't follow where you are I am destined for the corner And the darkness beyond And the darkness beyond Well, I knew what I was doing, but I knew not why I suppose I must have hated someone else from days gone by And if I had another chance to live through that dark night I would un-shoot every bullet, one by one 'Til the killing came undone 'Til the killing came undone [Chorus] Close your eyes And you will see the morning star I won't follow where you are I am destined for the corner And the darkness beyond And the darkness beyond I'm ashamed of what I've done, but I must face it now And the life that I have taken, I know nothing can replace it now But if I had a thousand of my own lives to lay down I would lay them all down for you, one by one 'Til the killing came undone 'Til the killing came undone [Chorus] Close your eyes And you will see the morning star I won't follow where you are I am destined for the corner And the darkness beyond And the darkness beyond
