INSTRUCTIONS

((( Robert )))

I found instructions on the bottle
Stating exactly where to go
And what to do
I understand that it's my mission
But I'm perplexed with
What it has to do with you
So I confront you with a handgun
Still these instructions
Fail to make some kind of sense
I've always tried to separate them
But now my life and chore
Collide with truculence

And I feel like setting the
Handgun on the table
And collapsing in the
Warmth of your touch
But I have never dared to
Ignore instructions, no
And I'm worried that
I'm thinking too much
About the warmth of your touch

I know I've made some bad decisions
But when I Robe
I can't begin to understand
I'm one of many odd disciples
We drink cough syrup
And we murder on command

I was lying when I said that
I didn't kill our classmates
At the school dance
With some poison pills
But I swear it's the truth that
I didn't shoot your boyfriend
Or run down your sister
I swear I can't account for those kills

I'm in love with you still
Siberia I can't kill you
If I die tonight, will you remember me?
I would if I was you

((( Narrator )))

As Robert sets it on the table
Malloy steps from the shadows
Grabs the handgun's grip
And aims it at his former minion
He fires a bullet
Through his head and teeth and lips

Robert falls down dead
In a pool of red expanding
And Siberia she faints to the floor
As Malloy shifts the aim of the gun
To her unconscious body
Sasquatch kicks his foot
Through the door

He charges the man
Who instructed teenage killers
To lay waste to classmates
Families and friends
Sasquatch pushes Malloy out the window
Down four stories
And it looks as if the killings will end
