DEAD BY DAWN
Can you see me falling
Or me stalling
To hit the ground?
I can hear you calling
As I’m sawing
Away at the chain
This impulsive thought repulsive to the cerebellum
I can’t remember to forget the pain I’ve wrought
My resentful heart is vengeful in words for arcanum
I have forgot to remember the shit you taught
I could be dead by dawn but it’s all a con except for the fire in your eyes
Because you hate in vain, I face the flame before the promise that I die
Just who is the hero? I’m the zero from the cursed shores to the heart of Pompeii
Prophesied to run with monsters in the night and I will find you ‘neath the lunar light
D E A D B Y D A W N
The sacrifice of paradise murders the malignant
Cancerous tumor that defines me as human
The deceptive fucked inception haunts this ambivalent
Careless Love-craft nec-romantic goddamn villain
I could be dead by dawn but it’s all a con except for the fire in your eyes
Because you hate in vain, I face the flame before the promise that I die
Just who is the hero? I’m the zero from the cursed shores to the heart of Pompeii
Prophesied to run with monsters in the night and I will find you ‘neath the lunar light
dead by D A W N
Piece by piece
Dead by dawn
Home sweet home
Dead by dawn
Talk the course
Dead by dawn
Walk the walk
Dead the dawn
Stay the course
Dead by dawn
Fly by night
Dead by dawn
Sick and tired
Dead by dawn
Step by step
Dead by dawn
Save your soul
Dead by dawn
dead by dawn
Dead By Dawn
DEAD BY DAWN
“Abandon all hope
Ye who enter here”
PLEASE NEVER EXHUME ME
I could be dead by dawn but it’s all a con except for the fire in your eyes
Because you hate in vain, I face the flame before the promise that I die
Just who is the hero? I’m the zero from the cursed shores to the heart of Pompeii
