10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3
watch everything wash by the sea
3 3 2 2 1 0 0 0
from far above you scream down below

shadows in your eyes slunk deep in the bone
your rodiron lungs won't leave you alone
your chest is steel and your tongue is brass
gasoline not blood through your heart fast fast fast

dressed to impress or maybe to kill
mind races on while your body stays still
under the sheets your pale limbs fade
the pressure increases day after day.

your shrieks fill the air cut short by the bombs
no more laughter now all of it gone
there's no reason no rhyme no excuse for you now
put the gun in your mouth squeeze the trigger, pow.

no thoughts for the others, what you leave behind
a mess and a mass of broken tangled lines
your hands in mine and the games that we played
you threw it behind when you should have just stayed.
