Slippin'

I'm slippin, I'm falling, I can't get up
I said, I'm slippin. I'm falling. I can't get up.
Even though I'm slippin and falling, I know I got to get up
Cause its the end of the road if I don't get up

Screaming like a sanctified demon
Screaming like a soul gnashing his teeth
Screaming like it was scorching in the belly of the beast

Screaming,
To be freed...
Freed, from his prison
SCREAMING!!!
Screaming...for help, can you hear him?

Arched over above the thirst chapped soil on buckled knees
Bones and flesh give way to fatigue
Not a drop of blood left to bleed
Brows parched of sweat to heave

I've Slipped. I've fallen. I can't get up
I said, I've Slipped. I've fallen. I've had enough
My cross has become too heavy to bear dear father
It too late to go back and repent now for I've already got one foot in the darkness

Let me lay here in peace
Drunken of sorrow, puking when I wake from my morbid dreams
Hung over from my past regrets and fears
Till the cup runneth over from being over filled with too many tears

Let me be
Let the vultures circle and lick their lips
Let me perish and decompose in peace
That the maggots may come to get me

Let Nature's undertakers eat me out of skin
Knawing through organs and bones as the stench lifts and lingers
Rotting in the scotching heat
Till there is nothing left, of me, to eat.
