lyrics

A girl alone on Christmas night
Just a box of matches
For both warmth and light

No house to call or family to name
Cradling a worm-out shoe like it’s Yorick’s skull
A night so cold you can see her refrain

"To strike a match,
or not to strike?"
Darling, go ahead
Strike as many matches as you like

In whose bed do you sleep?
I will find you
In whose arms do you weep?
They can’t hide you

I’m the enemy
That’s me
Soon you’ll see

I’m not a grand ungodly godlike man
I’m not the leg he lost
Not his revenge paid at any cost

Nor am I the contemptible father slain
Not his murdering bastard, nor the falsely accused, nor the missing envelope stuffed with ill-gotten gain

For God means well and the devil’s in pain
And man allots blame between himself and the two
While I somehow remain forever unnamed

In whose bed do you sleep?
Do you even know?
In whose arms do you weep
After they punished you so?

Are they the enemy?
And what does that make me?

I’m the taking clockwork
The black vacuum God
The empty bloody space
From which the pound of flesh can never be replaced

Cruel or kind, it’s just a branching path around the pit of my aftermath

The blame always falls on they who make the choice
While absent from the news
Is any mention of the forces that made them choose

In whose bed do you sleep?
I sleep with you
In whose arms do you weep?
Those same arms hold me too

If I’m the enemy
Then who are you to me?
