Let Sleeping Girls Lie.

[krowface]

Come to me, let me be my worst. Will you let me be this man you've mistaken me for this monster? Will you confuse one for the other...?

Behold, take note, amplify and serenade.

You see me as the monster you think I can be. Allow me the freedom to sink deep into my heart and let me kill everything around me.

...

My bed is full of gentle love, of women in pain and torment. Souls alseep and ready for slumber.

I crawl across them. They breathe deep of my poisonous desire. My thick hands find their throats.

Allow me to choose one, allow me to find your bidding.

One must die so one must live. Choose. Who lives, who dies? Is it in you to make this horrible decision?

Rough hands of twisted bone and sinew tighten against soft and gentle throats.

They sleep soundly, lost in beautiful dreams.

Let me end them where they lie.

Who is the monster here? How demands this failed justice?

Someone dies tonight. Which of us?

Choose. Make your decision.

Make the call.

Be there.

Live with the consequences.

...

Will there be the right way? I will never know. I am just the weapon in your hand. I am just your finality.

This is yours, it can never be mine.

Absolutely beautiful. And to think, you allowed me to live.

How thoughtful and sweet of you.
