You let the grass grow under your feet

You're sinking in the soil

You should look before you leap

You could never share the spoils

I'm your dismalest day and when I rain, I pour

I'll piss on your parade until I can't piss anymore

I'm a bore, I go on, I'm wittering away

I'll be your first thought in the morning

I was your last one yesterday

I had to square the circle, so of course, I belled the cat

Played the damsel in distress, of course, I never fell for that

Tried to lay me flat but I came kicking in my casket

And off I sent you packing back to hell in a handbasket

My stomach is a furnace, you're burning in my gut

Had one foot out the door but I made sure to slam it shut

I'm at a mutt, I need muzzling

But I'm barking up the right tree

If moderation is fault, then indifference is a crime scene

You took your bag and baggage

You pennywise, pound fool

Complacency is a sin, an idle hand my favourite tool

I didn't rest up on my laurels, I hoovered every crumb

Cross bridges when you get there, I cross before they come

Birds of feather, flock together and said we'll see ourselves out

This is the age of Capricorn, candles will blow themselves out

Ashes to ashes

From rust to stardust

In sickness and wrath

In envy and lust

The glint of my ribs, the shine of my spine

The hounds and the angels, wore their skin as mine

Ashes to ashes

From rust to stardust

In sickness and wrath

In envy and lust

Rip me limb from limb, my allied, my kin

Ate the heart first, wiped you from my chin

Ate the heart first, wiped you from my chin

The prophecy goes that every cell in the body replaces itself entirely every seven years

Soon I'll be someone you never clawed your way into

Someone you never knew

It's first red to pink, then septic yellow and green hues, then so black, it was almost blue

If I was in your shoes, I'd crawl out from under my own skin just to try and kick them off

And what's inside me seethes

Claws at the glottal, mutilates my laughter

I'll hunt in every lifetime

Maim your past and present, await you in the after

Both bestial and celestial

I'm feasting in the fell

Stand to face the sun, I cast myself, I am the spell

To leave and never be left

The prang in your knee is the star upon my breast

Tick, tick, tick

Tick, tick, tick

An air of grace that tick, tick, ticks

The death rattle that hit, hit, hits

A battle cry that stick, stick, sticks

An air of grace that tick, tick, ticks

The death rattle that hit, hit, hits

A battle cry that stick, stick, sticks

Nothing

Tick, tick, ticks

Nothing

Hit, hit, hits

Nothing

Stick, stick, sticks

Nothing

Tick, tick, ticks

Water's everywhere

Nothing

There's not a drop to drink

Nothing

I turn to my favourite author

Nothing

I'm thirsting for a mind that thinks

Nothing

Ashes to ashes

From rust to stardust

In sickness and wrath

In envy and lust

The glint of my ribs, the shine of my spine

The hounds and the angels, wore their skin as mine

Ashes to ashes

From rust to stardust

In sickness and wrath

In envy and lust

Rip me limb from limb, my allied, my kin

Ate the heart first, wiped you from my chin

Ashes to ashes

From rust to stardust

In sickness and wrath

In envy and lust

Rip me limb from limb, my allied, my kin

The hallow and hold, in saviour and sin

These violent delights have violent ends

And violently you'll see

Nobody decides it's over for me, but me

Nobody decides it's over for me, but me

Nobody decides it's over for me, but me

Nobody decides it's over for me, but me

Nobody decides it's over but me
