In a final attempt to get his mother out of his head, the brother comes into contact with his father, fulfilling what he thought to be his destiny, only to realize that all of his family is now dead and in the past life, possibly planning to come back and haunt him together.

lyrics

How do you kill someone who's already dead.
Voices drown out the memory of what you did right.

How do you kill someone who's already dead?
I'm tired of feeling empty, yet so full of regret.
Counting down the day I'll see you again is what I always thought I'd do, but now I just want you out of my head.

Follow me down, follow me down, I'll show you what I have found. Finally, finally the time has arrived.

The time's arrived (x6)

Seconds away from what used to be my prison but now it's my plan.
You used to drain my spirits, but now you give me strength to get my revenge.
Well, are you afraid?
Well, you should be.

Killing what has made me, it bring me peace and resting please.
Knowing you're a family again... what have I done?
Don't come for me.

Mother, what did you do in this life, what did you do in this life to deserve this?
Oh, mother, mother, I'm sorry you have to live inside of my head.
