Going Down

Somebody pray for me
Take them away from me
Demons berating me
Seeking a vacancy
Hole in your heart
Hope there’s a place for me
Broken apart
Losing my agency

Gotta move fast
Life like a race for me
Difficult task
No time for bracing me
Finishing last
Look how long it’s taking me
Chasing the art
What colours you painting me?
Perilous path
Fatalist fate for me
Scuffle and scar
Waving a blade at me
Cripple and carve
Ain’t no escape for me
Lucifer laughs
Making a space for me

Slippery slope so I reach for the rope
Checking me choke, the smog and a the smoke
The toll that it takes, Ive broken the brakes
No cutting the cake, I leap in the lake

The dirtiest depths, the murkiest wet
I hurt for the best, I thirst for some rest
I turn in my bed, a churn in my chest
A burn in my head, the urn where I’m kept
