Barbiturate (Go to Sleep)
Blessed be the soul
That will spare these stones
And curse those who move my bones
-------------------------------------------------------
When your flesh deteriorates
You're just one of the same
Another skull attached to a spine
Who couldn't make it alive
What you live for is now dead
Hoist those black dresses instead
Fly on bloody wings
Death has now set you free
Sleep
Try to go to sleep
I promise it won't hurt
I wanted to make my own escape
But life beat me to it again
What I yearn for is now in flames
Now time to take a barbiturate
Paint those mournful faces on
We are not gonna let the rain wash these worst of you away
Don't try to subside
All the hate that you laid to rest
When I took my last breath
All I heard was -
Sleep
Just sleep
I promise it won't hurt
I wanted to make my own escape
But life beat me to it again
What I yearn for is now in flames
Now time to take a barbiturate
That will spare these stones
And curse those who move my bones
