VIII: Shadow & Gloom

Mother of mine Mother of mine I awoke in a sweat in the middle of the night Oh out in the East, where the shadows lie Where the dawn won't come and the sun won't rise But, oh, this weight gets too heavy to bear It crushes my lungs as I come up for air And everything is so clear When I just disappear Chemical bank Chemical bank My credit's been shot at the chemical bank And I just want one little taste But everything's rotten Everything's rank It all boils down into poisonous ash That rains down on me in a vomitous mass And static is all I can hear So I just disappear And now I'm having an out-of-money experience This fever's getting higher and I'm getting delirious Elbow room Elbow room Can I get some elbow room I just need to breathe for a minute or two Can I get some elbow room I just want some fucking sleep I've been writhing around on the ground like a cat in heat And nothing is sacred or pure So I just disappear And now I'm stuck in the middle of a mass extinction event The extinction of all of the good that they want to forget They suck the light out from the room Shadow and gloom Just shadow and gloom Mounted on creatures, eyes red and blue Shadow and gloom Just shadow and gloom Oh, humans Once humans too Shadow and Gloom Just shadow and Gloom Drag me down Down into shadow and gloom Shadow and Gloom I'm a heat seeking missile locked in on my doom Shadow and gloom And shadow and gloom My body's a temple My body's a tomb Shadow and Gloom Just show and gloom Rise from the dead Body exhumed Shadow and gloom Just shadow and gloom Drag me down Down into down into Shadow and gloom Shadow and gloom Mother of mine Mother of mine Can you hear me I'm losing what's left of my mind
