I have my good days
I have my bad
Sometimes I'm happy
But mostly I'm sad
Sometimes I want her
Seeing red and black
Other times I want her
Just crawling back

(And she will)
Drag me down to the bottom
(And she will)
Feed off bones of the forgotten
(And she will)
Break what's already broken
(And she will)
Leave me Empty
Cold and frozen

Pull me out
Somebody
I'm descending
My world is collapsing
All around me
Entombing me
I'm failing
And I'm clawing
I'm feeble
Frail
And rotting
I'm nothing

And she can crawl her knees off
Until they're raw and chewn
I'll just kick her fucking teeth in
And no longer support her womb
As her screams come air-less
I'll just spit right in her face
She'll be left alone and wanting
Choking on her mistakes

(And she will)
Drag me down to the bottom
(And she will)
Feed off bones of the forgotten
(And she will)
Break what's already broken
(And she will)
Leave me Empty
Cold and frozen

Pull me out
Somebody
I'm descending
My world is collapsing
All around me
Entombing me
I'm failing
And I'm clawing
I'm feeble
Frail
And rotting
I'm nothing

Screaming waves of sound
That echo out
But they're only wasted
Gasps of breath
Falling on to the ears of the deaf

Author's Note: Finished song, written and recorded. This takes a few ideas and a line here and there from one or two of my shorter and much older works.
