Rotten friends
I walk, dragging along my friend's limp and heavy body
We had a good time together though now he is dead
I hope he doesn't mind because this is how it always ends
To make it up to him, he can sleep in my bed
I'm in need of some company anyway
All I have are souvenirs
Their eyes and their teeth-- perfect memories, reminding me of all the fun we had
Solitude is getting boring
And life is becoming dull
I would kill for some company right about now
But instead, I find myself surrounded by the dead
My head hurts
And my feet ache
I don't know how much longer I can keep these voices inside my head
All of my friends are rotten, so I started talking to the corpses resting on my bed
They don't talk much but they listen well
So quiet and still, you won't hear a peep
I swear the conversations we have keep me sane
I don't know what I would do without them
The hallways in my house are like a maze
Empty frames hang on the walls and cover the scratches and the chipped paint
When I get some free time I'll paint it all red
Each shade from a different friend
It'll be marvellous
