Dreary Days

Keep the cold drops in your pocket

Come in handy to fake sorrowful moments

Standing in a crowd creates the worst solitary confinement

Wicked hearts dug up from the graveyard

On pickets, bait for the hungry wayward

Fog so low, hazed, evaporated into pupils

Relieving the red hot, blood shot, what a clear head

Carrying shovels on their backs

Eat the dirt they shower on you

Sand between your teeth, bleeding gums

Warriors with sharp axe pix instead of guns

The ravenous never sleep

Blood thirsty they want their keep

String em' up high and watch the angels weep
