DEATH FOLLOWS

I can't hear your voice
Silence is deafening  
Like a song of ghosts
Filled with haunted screaming
 
Wherever I go
   death follows
On whatever road
     death follows  
 
Trying to find peace
Pieces are scattering  
Across the board now
Rearranged in dreaming
 
     wherever I go
Death follows
     on whatever road
Death follows
 
I'm running faster
I'm driving farther  
But there's nothing to grab onto
I'm pale and shaking
There's no mistaking
It's just a forgone conclusion  
 
In this state of disrepair  
It's sobering and unfair
With tear stained eyes
I realize
All my friends and enemies  
End in loss and agony  
With bloodshot eyes
I realize
 
There are many miles to go
 
Paved with blood and bone
And vivid memories  
Who knew this could hurt
So much in tragedy?
 
     wherever I go
Death follows
     on whatever road
Death follows
 
Lost among the stars
Rotting constellations  
Fade to the ether
Such a revelation  
 
Wherever I go
     death follows
On whatever road
     death follows  
 
I'm running faster
I'm driving farther  
But there's nothing to grab onto
I'm pale and shaking
There's no mistaking
It's just a forgone conclusion  
 
In this state of disrepair  
It's sobering and unfair
With tear stained eyes
I realize
All my friends and enemies  
End in loss and agony  
With bloodshot eyes
I realize
 
There is nowhere left to go
 
I AM FACE TO FACE
WITH THE MONSTER MIRRORED  
SPLINTERED IN MY EYE
IT'S NEVER BEEN CLEARER  
     don't let me down
     i scream and shout
DROWN IN TIDES OF BLOOD
WITH NO TIME FOR MOURNING  
AND I KILL AGAIN
THINGS THAT MAKE ME HUMAN
 
 
Wherever I go
     death follows
On whatever road
     death follows  
 
I'm running faster
I'm driving farther  
But there's nothing to grab onto
I'm pale and shaking
There's no mistaking
It's just a forgone conclusion  
 
In this state of disrepair  
It's sobering and unfair
With tear stained eyes
I realize
All my friends and enemies  
End in loss and agony  
With bloodshot eyes
I realize
 
There's no one left to hold on to
