Just to your left, there in the tub, lays your helpless victim

And as you scrub, all went to plan, although something's missing

So why the lack, why no resolve, why no sense of closure

The perfect victim, it's what you had and more than once before

You kill again without remorse, yet the demons still come screaming

Each sacrifice is closer to your supposed perfect ending
