The Spiral

A writhing sleep

A waiting gun

A black premonition

A crow to follow home

So here we are again

The fork carved in the road

White knuckles grip the wheel

A full liquor tank set to blow

I'm not afraid

I don't give a fuck if I live or die

I just want to see twisted metal

The broken glass shards right through my eyes

For salvation a bullet ride

Not a stained glass prison of lies

Are you afraid?

You can't make it home

The crack façade of love has left you stained black

Rotting and cold

So drink up

Let the acid burn

Deaf. Numb. Blind

Serenity in a gutter sleep

They'll make you feel at home in the absence of the truth

The only hole you'll get is in the comfort of the noose

She's soaking wet

This love's a crime

But goddamn it, it feels so good to watch the fear take over her eyes

So drink up

Let the acid burn

Deaf. Numb. Blind

Serenity in a gutter sleep

A velvet lining

Some words of prayer

Such a merciful god

(To the ship-like minions)

Thumbs his nose in the air 1234!

This ship of fools is going under

A broken mast impales the martyr

A blood red sky bled from our father

The spiral turns wine to water

Stained life from this debt

Take my last breath
