Kiss The Carcass

I said I would follow you anywhere you go
Down the road of hopelessness with needles in your arm
I hold you and make it true
Try and play the part
Gratifying magic that invades my soul tends me to the core
In the alleys we all lay down
On the corner I search for home
Blood that has submerged into the soil
Where I swim in the gutter of what I once knew
Yet I stand beside you every step of the way
Living this deception you have me blurred
Trying to convince myself you don’t need me
The cold metal that kisses my porcelain veins
I trip on my own guts
Retched carcass that collapsed long ago  
I try and feed you like a feeble wounded bird
Dropping the small amounts into you
You try and taste the air
But your lungs are to small
