Ate a Crocodile

Darkness is the only light I seek, silence the only sound I take heed, such is my plight Scent of death come the bloodhound, Take me down into the depths of The cloudy skies drifting above, I've spun out of your orbit And I'm off into the nearest sun, The last bullet I must have bit Hollowed out the chambers of your gun, Burning in and burning up The oxygen in my lungs I got too close And singed my nose, Ladder from the moon I've broken all the rungs No way back Unless I tack on another tack, Runneth over my cup Spilled from thy lips and soon, The stars will fall Drops of light into my dark, call Off the ravens and bring The vultures that sing, Over my melancholy No crime or folly, I've still got a smile Because an alligator ate a crocodile...
