(0137) a moment forgotten
for a person who didn't know any better.
they must have dug your grave without feeling for a pulse. this time i've shut off all the lights, but you're still in my head. don't delay this funeral. don't delay this funeral. i've been counting backwards ever since i was born. and when will we stop? when will we stop? when will we stop to fall asleep? i'll taste your indecision and gag. won't wait for these snakes to wrap around your throat. after all, you've done enough. just go away and cut your eyes.
behind the trees i follow fear, and everything is set in gear. i come out in your open sea. desensitize my guilt and flee. caught up in your fairy tales, i'm walking all night long on nails. my lungs collapse under my breath. i look around; there's nothing left.
i thought i was lost. nickels and dimes. you don't have money for sympathy. but tomorrow you remain shackled in chains to the beliefs that you just won't break free from. instinctive, you would call out. a certain waste of time. a decision turned backwards on you.
and this is the moment you left hanging over me. your emotionless smile dripping out of your gums... your teeth barely reflecting the light from the stars. and i know you'll read this, but you've already made your choice. you went down to the valley where vultures, they circle. they'll scavenge your meat and make dinner from you, leaving your bones to warn others like you, but no one will notice. they won't have a clue. and now that i feel it, i know what to do.
back and forth, we close our eyes. the devil comes to take your life. no matter what i say, it's true. you better run, it's coming soon. back and forth, you change your mind. hurry up. they're close behind. never really stopped to see all the blood that was pouring out from your own body.
