The Following
Down is the new up;
How ****** is that?
It's all twisted around into this sickness that everyone enjoys
This mass hysteria to be weak minded
To be a piece of flesh prying off of the shin bone onto the fence post
The pain feels so good; the hurt is almost too easy
Watch as the ground swallows my blood
It takes it in to add to the collection of the centuries that fought for us
I fought for us and slowly drowned in the undertow that took you away before
The light did and I can not be afraid of this being that lives in my mind.
I feel as if I must die tonight for this to ever be anything more
Than a waste of time or for my life to be a waste of time.
But then will someone come and take my place?
The keeper of the black heart in which you so bestow.
I felt pain creep in and I stumbled naked down the hall to the bathroom where there would be no doors
to hold me back from the other side of this world that I do not yet know.
Until tomorrow my love,
You will never know. . .
My love until the tomorrow, which I will never know.
