With a black heart undercover, watching you sleep every night.
"I wish you'd watch me too..." We're made for each other
Honey if you only knew, every night I'm watching you...

Shut up you're talking to loud for me to not listen.
This operation's gotten old, the face I stole, the gun of
lust shot through your soul, and all that's left is empty holes.

Mom and Dad can't help you anymore Get in the car we'll drive far to the end of the shore
Under the docks, on top of the rocks, "Knock knock knock knock
Why the fuck are the doors locked?!"

Maybe she forgot about our talks, or maybe I'm mistaken,
But I swear to god that she's not getting out of this without some kind of explanation,
Oh I'm straining on your patience? Maybe scaring you a little?
Just because I came to visit doesn't mean you have to hide.
I'll be waiting on the side of your house,
With an empty bodybag
And a loaded .45

And then you wont forget my fucking name!

You're tearing me up, inside my mind.
You walked in front, I ran behind...

    General Comment:Just a random thought. Macaulay Culkin is most famous for his role in the Home Alone movies. The lyrics seem to be a sort of dark twist on a similar plot - intruders trying to make their way into a locked home.

    Drawing from similar themes, I suppose. I think the extra "McCulkin" part is just for some fun symmetry in the name and doesn't serve any deep purpose. TFOT really enjoy wordplay in their song titles, and I think this is no exception.

    Great song. Favorite line is the "knock knock knock" part. Intense, riotous and charged with energy.

    General Comment:the actor is Macaulay Culkin. hes kevin from the terribly famous movie home alone,
    you can relate the lyrics to the movie,
    just in a messed up way

    General Comment:this kind of reminds me of The Cask of the Amontillado. like he was insulted because she forgot his name and now he's trying to kill her

    also, in this song i want to think the music itself tells the story too not just the lyrics though

    General Comment:Don't know much about other Macaulay Culkin movies that this song could be influenced by, but i just think its pretty ironic that its named after the actor in the home alone series who keeps getting left behind places, and then the song is about a guy going crazy over being being forgotten and ignored by someone. hahaha maybe i'm the only one who finds that funny.
