I’m slipping slowly down the drain. The night is dark And the face in my reflection, doesn’t look at me the same. Cold disdain; no recollection of the last time I heard my name, Spoken with grace. My faith is misplaced. Not even a narrow escape through these castle gates would find me saved. Only open plains await; with pain pouring down like acid rain. These fields, Will never flower. Just rest my head on a feathered bed, As the world drowns around and drags me down beneath its depths. Sand and shells in this silent hell. Darkness rings her dinner bell, As sunken souls grab their hold, stripping my youth. Used, abused, weathered, and confused; they never taught me the rules Of how to save you From you.

Soggy Song
I’m slipping slowly down the drain. The night is dark And the face in my reflection, doesn’t look at me the same. Cold disdain; no recollection of the last time I heard my name, Spoken with grace. My faith is misplaced. Not even a narrow escape through these castle gates would find me saved. Only open plains await; with pain pouring down like acid rain. These fields, Will never flower. Just rest my head on a feathered bed, As the world drowns around and drags me down beneath its depths. Sand and shells in this silent hell. Darkness rings her dinner bell, As sunken souls grab their hold, stripping my youth. Used, abused, weathered, and confused; they never taught me the rules Of how to save you From you.
