The First Time I Discovered a Dead Body

Nails in the coffin

blood in the streets

Teenage runaway dead before dawn

In the morning sun

I discovered you

Lying as still as the moon

you were as blue as the sea

That was the first time I discovered a dead body

Living a million deaths of desire

the dance of the dead is igniting the fire

Driven to madness and cursed by the light

slip into shadows that resemble night

Deathbed last confession

tell me what I want to hear

And then the second time

was just a few feet away

hit by a car at high speed

under the pouring rain

Midnight resurrection

take me to the sacrifice

before they mastermind my misery

exorcise demons

So ugly on the outside

all consuming from the inside out

Angels and demons dancing on your grave

death lives forever in a spiraling decay

You're beautiful and far too young to die

A pale shade of blue with empty lifeless eyes

Restless apparition over that haunted hill

thank you for showing me death as a witness

you've opened up my eyes as you slip away

as you fade away

possess the psyche you bloated cadaver

swallow my soul if that's what you're after

fear and fatigue as death reappears

I'll bludgeon the one who invited you here

Deathbed last confession

tell me what I want to hear
