Slender slippery shadows slither straight at my figure
Memories that come with weight I try not to remember
This gallows consists of tightwires and tighter knots
Thinking of a way out is bait
Doubt outweighs triumph on a daily basis
Attention is called to failures while *success dies from budget cuts too deep to bandage
Being broke and broken you incure a lot of damage and debt
Ruined plans and regret
And learn to love when the rope holds tight around your neck
Stability of any sort is necessary
When the drop is so **** scary
*Hell is just a phone call away
And they have a billion ******* receptionists ready to rapidly redirect your call
A donation of one ****** soul can get you a sidewalk all the way to Hell's blackened gates
Either way you arrive sleep deprived
*Nightmares of reality plant seeds deep inside
Creating sleepless nights
And I seek advice in low places
Because I'm scared of heights
I fail to recognize the irony
The noose is too tight
I'm so far above the ground
I don't think the drop would bother me anymore
