The Cat and Mouse - Cursive

A little mouse creeps as the mighty tomcat sleeps

He’s been up for forty nights, he needs his forty winks

To think of all the mischief his teeth did sink

I can nearly taste it

Some scars heal and practically fade away

While some reveal a past you can’t escape

And others still are entirely fake

So what’s it going to be, my long lost brother?

Show your scars

Are you going to be my long lost brother

After all?

I don’t really need a long lost brother

Tearing me apart

Let’s start knocking them nine lives off

I know what you are, I know what you’re doing

I know what this is, it’s a bloodletting

When the cat’s away, it’s said the mouse will play

Oh, but this little mouse was brainwashed to behave

Now the cat’s out of the bag and someone’s got to pay

Here kitty kitty

All my life I’ve been made to do what’s right

Well, all my life is going to end tonight

And you my pet are my first sacrifice

So what’s it going to be, my long lost brother?

Pass or fail

Are you going to be my long lost brother?

Heads or tails

I never really had a brother

But it doesn’t hurt to be double sure

I know what you are, I know what you’re doing

I know what this is, it’s a bloodletting

I know what you are, I know what you’re after

You’re a dead ringer, you’re a doppelgänger

Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger

Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger

Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger

Kill the demon, kill your doppelgänger
