I've made nothing but mistakes in my life up till 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 unlive every minute one by one   Till the killing came undone   Till the killing came undone      Now your picture is forever burned into my head   But I wished that it was me there lying there motionless instead   And if there was a way that I could unspill all that blood   I'd put every drop back in you one by one   Till the killing came undone   Till the killing came undone      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 unshoot every bullet one by one   Till the killing came undone    Till the killing came undone      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   Till the killing came undone   Till the killing came undone      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
