Oh lullabies please gouge out my eyes
I thought I'd never see your face
I'll be ****** if I spend one more day, standing in one place
Oh God please no
Here comes my soul
I thought I left you to die
I don't wait for the things that are dead
Like angels and goodbyes
If all was well
I'd be in hell
But there's no room for you there
You're the highest light I've ever known
Besides my electric chair
With thought, time, and smack I scrubbed the plaque
Off of my heart
But there's blood in the mud of my dreams
Never returning your memory's blurring
Under time's muffled screams
I've fought this and that, ****** bled, and spat
But there's no goal
You can feed me but I'm never full
Nights are too long now that you're far away
But I won't ask you to stay.
