It is too late - The thick stench of sin has set root in my marrow And my bones have begun to rot. I can feel myself breathing blood, So I crane my neck until I hear a bone snap. I try and try to run to the toothless moon Spilling screams and red satin, But the long hallway leads nowhere. A wolf at heart, I rip the tainted skin from my fingertips And breathe life through the wound. I wish I could see God Falling from his mighty perch Just as I see the devil In the stained marble of my bathroom sink.

Lady Macbeth
It is too late - The thick stench of sin has set root in my marrow And my bones have begun to rot. I can feel myself breathing blood, So I crane my neck until I hear a bone snap. I try and try to run to the toothless moon Spilling screams and red satin, But the long hallway leads nowhere. A wolf at heart, I rip the tainted skin from my fingertips And breathe life through the wound. I wish I could see God Falling from his mighty perch Just as I see the devil In the stained marble of my bathroom sink.
