Decay
all this time
going round and round
open my eyes
I am upside down
shedding my scales
feeling naked now
dark rituals
submerged never to drown
bite my skin
remind me where I've been
reap and sow
there is no afterglow
where do the wise ones go
to disappear
the only place I know to hide
is right here
can you see me?
fighting to go nowhere
fill the void
in beautiful nightmares
I count the coins
keep them in my pocket
worship everyday
become a sleep shaped locket
and I cry
screaming throat bled dry
alive in hell
all the heroes have died
going round and round
open my eyes
I am upside down
shedding my scales
feeling naked now
dark rituals
submerged never to drown
bite my skin
remind me where I've been
reap and sow
there is no afterglow
where do the wise ones go
to disappear
the only place I know to hide
is right here
can you see me?
fighting to go nowhere
fill the void
in beautiful nightmares
I count the coins
keep them in my pocket
worship everyday
become a sleep shaped locket
and I cry
screaming throat bled dry
alive in hell
all the heroes have died
