I found my death in Comfort's warm embrace Her body pleasing to my longing soul I deeply drank from lustful, parted lips As I drowned in her toxic, blissful scent I sought Her out when Sorrow cut my veins And dying from His torment, sought relief Her claws grasped tight around my welcome throat And dragged me down to lower, darker depths And as the light of life within me fled I found a certain humor in my fate I sought out Comfort, fleeing Sorrow's pain But found myself choked by that which I sought
