Trick or treat
Trick or treat, Trick or treat
I met him the other day, the man with the black coat.
I saw myself lying down on that rusting boat.
It felt so real but I hope it was a dream.
Trick or treat, Trick or treat
I felt the wind through me, just like I wasn't made of flesh.
I wasn't sure if it was really death.
It was really good time to ask what was going on, but didn't even know where to begin.
Trick or treat, Trick or treat
Was I being tricked or was it the time to rest?
Even if I chose to follow the man with the black coat.
Seeing my flesh lying down, makes me wonder
Was it trick or treat
