lyrics

KILLING MONROE (DOLLHOUSE)
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON

She’s burning with anger down to her very bones.
This house a hate chamber of her emotions thrown.
The room breaks loose; I’m caught in a kaleidoscope.
Her dollhouse now burning, I’ve gone up in smoke.

So what happened to all the love?
Nothing is ever good enough.
This room now weighs a ton.
And I am gone by morning sun.

In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls full with holes
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls with scars for a soul

Knowing what she’s done she’s willing to do it again.
So from her pretty fire another day wasted instead.

She’s a killer with a view and a photograph mind.
She watches prey as birds often fly.
She wants you now and she wants you alive.
She’s killing Monroe it’s killing time.

In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls full with holes
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls with scars for a soul
