every moment slips away

giving me the run around
relationships have run aground

every time i gain an inch
find i'm in another pinch

seems like i can't get ahead
might be better off when dead

suicide may be the cure
i don't know
i can't be sure

drip drip drop
my blood falls down
immortal sadness
hear me drown

every moment
slips away

every time
my trust betray

as the last drip drop flows out
no one hears my mournful shout

much to late to save my life
spilling out against this knife
one less worthless life

feels like trudging through a bog
each step lost within deep fog
past a heron
past a log
sinking deeper
in the bog

sinking deeper
its to late

lungs are full of burning hate
even as i slip away

one last thought
i want to say

why did you betray?

lethargy is all that's left
as i lose my final breath

as my life just slips away
all i ask is what i say

why did you betray?

lethargy eats through my soul
leaving but a gaping hole
never reached my goal

sometimes sadness i perceive
vicious thoughts
yet as i grieve
broken hearted
theres no doubt
no one there to hear my shout

watching my life slip away
heart rent open
crimson spray
hands so stained
palms asplay
poison words
i fall away

why did you betray?
i let you slip away
why did you betray?
you didn't let me stay
your heart has gone astray

often wishing i was dead
arms asplay
my palms stained red
screaming in my head
in my pool of red
screaming in my head
in my pool of red
screaming in my head
but i write instead
only love is dead
only love is dead
only love is dead
with my palms stained red
palms stained bloody red
