Choked out by the forces that make me scream Face shoved into the dirt Boot, between my shoulder blades Exist in the perfect cacophny of crying and failed escapes Dragging me into the rivers of salt lined water Tears don't form when you are underwater So drown the innocence out of me so I can't think past the smell of dirt Cover my throat with a shirt, and wait for me to emerge The sound of a snap, and a flash I am trapped, kept from coming clean with a photograph Curled into a ball, trapped in time Bound in that awful grime Listening to "Dance Hall Drug" realizing the meaning And suddenly my head is bleeding The clock has turned red, and I've lost my head in a guillotine It's okay, just light a match and watch me disappear; I'm kerosene I'm easy to control, with a photo And I'm just an average depressed **** Drowned into the person I should be And I guess I am the best depressed verision of me, lost at sea Clamate dolor

Clamate Dolor
Choked out by the forces that make me scream Face shoved into the dirt Boot, between my shoulder blades Exist in the perfect cacophny of crying and failed escapes Dragging me into the rivers of salt lined water Tears don't form when you are underwater So drown the innocence out of me so I can't think past the smell of dirt Cover my throat with a shirt, and wait for me to emerge The sound of a snap, and a flash I am trapped, kept from coming clean with a photograph Curled into a ball, trapped in time Bound in that awful grime Listening to "Dance Hall Drug" realizing the meaning And suddenly my head is bleeding The clock has turned red, and I've lost my head in a guillotine It's okay, just light a match and watch me disappear; I'm kerosene I'm easy to control, with a photo And I'm just an average depressed **** Drowned into the person I should be And I guess I am the best depressed verision of me, lost at sea Clamate dolor
