Final Girl

Am I encouraging this
Am I fool
To dip my toes in
To wet my tongue on your name again
To wade back
I see your silhouette
You're the axe in my shower scene
The eyes in the dark
Of the deep
The voice on the other end of the line
I hear you talking to me from inside

The house where I live
Is definitely haunted
I sing our favourite songs
In harmony with the skeletons I keep in my closet

I am cliche
Final girl
Stalking the halls with a knife I just picked up
I am cliche
Final girl
And it's always you I'm running from
I am cliche
Final girl
One snappy saying away from the credit roll
I am cliche
Final girl
Should've been left on the cutting room floor

I ask too much
Looking into my crystal ball
I see nothing at all
What did I expect, who am I
To know what you're thinking
I've drawn my tarot cards
Sang my spells into songs
I ask too much
Starring role in the movie I'm writing all by myself

Would you
Pick up, pick up
If I called
If I called you someday
Would you let me in
With sweet invitation
If I showed up
I know I'm growing stale
I bore myself too, baby
But darling I have to know

I am cliche
Final girl
Cutting the telephone lines from just outside
I am cliche
Final girl
Shaking my chains
I am cliche
Final girl
I can still taste pig blood
I am cliche
Final girl
Final scene, where are you now

I am cliche
Final girl
I am cliche
Final girl
Final girl
I am cliche
