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
