a trip to the other side

When the sun falls and the earth is filled with shadows.
When sleep no longer visits me at night.
Storm clouds gather around.
Masses of crows gather at my gallows.
Biting and scratching bringing my cage to rattle.
Picking my eyes and slowly killing me.
My demons are slowly creeping in.
Haunting my every thought.
Tearing me apart, feeding from on my guts.
Sucking blood from my lifeless body dry and out.
I scream out I need a saviour.
Preachers say  to me,
I can't be saved.
Doctors keep telling me,
It's all in my head.

My stray jacket is no longer tight enough.
The walls of my cell are no longer big enough.
The bars at my door have come to rust.
My demons start creeping in.
Bringing everything to dust.
My shallow grave has been dug.
They're tearing me apart, feeding me my internals.
With a glass half full of my blood.
A piece of my liver lying on the floor drenched in alcohol I
drank last night.
I was trying to forget what comes after the day turns to night.
My demons  are slowly creeping in.
Tonight they've sowed my mouth shut.
So there'll be no screaming tonight.
They proceed tearing rapturing me apart.
The other one shredding my heart with a knife.
Lucifer their father feasting my brains out.
Still no sign of a saviour in sight.
This is sentence they gave.
Preachers said  to me,
I can't be saved.
Doctors keep telling me,
It's all in my head.
