Nevermore Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know you don't exist
But last night I beheld your face
Is that you?
Is that you?

I know you don't exist
All your advice was forged by myself
But is that you?
Is that you?

In vain I fought at crossroads with your lies
In vain I came up with those helpless alibis
I know, I know, you don't exist
I know, I know, you don't exist

[Chorus]
Mr. Nevermore
Soon you'll be walking down
The alleys of my dreams
Yes, I'm Nevermore
Rubbing your hands in glee and making plans
For Nevermore
Ceaselessly going 'round inside my head
And scornfully you're whispering into my ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear
[Verse 2]
Still in this ambush of unlikelyhood
I'm hiding, well prepared for intervention
It's me
Yes, it's me

And when you're tired, I'm awake
You hear my laughs just before you close your eyes
It's me
Yes, it's me

I never sleep, I never let you be
Some call it karma, some call it destiny
Your doors are safely locked but I hold the keys
My friends inside are legion waiting for their release

[Chorus]
I am Nevermore
Soon I'll be walking down
The alleys of your dreams
I'm Nevermore
Rubbing my hands in glee and making plans
Forever more
Ceaselessly going 'round inside your head
And it's my greatest pleasure to whisper in your ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear
I am Nevermore
Soon I'll be walking down
The alleys of your dreams
I'm Nevermore
Rubbing my hands in glee and making plans
Forever more
Ceaselessly going 'round inside your head
And it's my greatest pleasure to whisper in your ear
I know, I know, I know, I don't exist, my dear
