Deathshaker
Twenty one years
Crossed hearts and hoped to never die
Slept crooked, and woke deaf and blind
With pins and needles through the chest
And foot, and mouth, and ******* head

Deathshaker
Twenty one years
To wake to dust and rot and ache
To once loved noises, long replaced
By crushing silence, bitter debts
To lovers long dead

You shake hands with death himself
To rid yourself of old loves

Falling out of love is a horrible experience. In this respect, I think apathy is my most damaging vice; worse than anger, hate, jealousy, malice. Life without emotion is no life at all.
