Thrive In the Dark

you know he'll work best in the dark room ran on the scent of rotten angels he kept let him loose in the living room and hes wrapped around the furniture look him in the windowless eye sunk down to his elbows he got me on my lucky thirteens burnt out easy a good mix of glow and gloom that which strives when most deprived who thrives in the darkest part of a room used to lie in the backyard be glowing for days a come down like sunset be spewin light and it would wrap around the buildings and the houses looked human with monsters within night didnt need a camouflage you could see right through that which cries when most alive who thrives in the darkest time of night
