Like a Tomb

Goodbye now Is this how you wanted me? I cannot breathe your memory is simply choking me You’re like a tomb dark and dead You put bad thoughts into my head You’re why I can’t sleep at night You ruined my life and ruined my mind I curse the day my heart took you in I curse the day you left it broken Now I lay me down to sleep Here I lay in this crypt you keep You keep me here against my will You’re the memory I cannot kill One day I will One day I’ll win But for now it seems that one day’s just a dream You’re like a tomb dark and dead You put bad thoughts into my head All hope is wilted a dead but overgrown hedge On the top floor I’m standing on the ledge If I fall I blame you You caused me pain the best you could do The world is bleak black and sad You took all things good and made them bad You derive joy from causing me twisted agony You’re like a tomb dark and dead You put bad thoughts into my head Six feet under in the ground Is where my spirits can be found There you’ll find them bound and gagged Clasping tightly what I never had You’ll find the fiber of all my being rapidly rotting Ruins just smoldering You’ll find me there shattered and torn Wishing that I had never been born You’re why I’m crying why I’m laying here dying why life just isn’t the same You took my love and laughed at it making my death a game
