The clock strikes midnight, twelve chimes that I hear
I see the hand’s reflection, in my pool of tears
I’m waiting for sunrise, to bring the night to an end
Turn to face the day, and do it over again
Inside my wicked heart
Is a locked door
My conscience torn apart
Until I don’t know
She held my wicked heart
In her evil hand
She was a thorn from the start
I can’t understand
All I hear are the echoes, of a forgotten cry
All I feel are the wounds, of a deceiver’s eye
Look down a needle, and my conscience will scream
But it’ll take my nightmare, and turn it to dreams
Inside my wicked heart
Is a locked door
My conscience torn apart
Until I don’t know
She held my wicked heart
In her evil hand
She was a thorn from the start
I can’t understand
Look myself in the mirror, eyes burning with shame
See the face of a killer, see a vision insane
A saint behind the sinner, but maybe it ain’t me
Take a look in my eyes, see the hell that I’ve seen
Inside my wicked heart
Is a locked door
My conscience torn apart
Until I don’t know
She held my wicked heart
In her evil hand
She was a thorn from the start
I can’t understand
