Past Life

Drown demons in alcohol
I hear the devil's devilish call
Telling me to come here
With his pointy claws
Thinking back
When and where did I drop the ball
When and where did I fall
How did it go all wrong
How and for how long
Inside the husk of hallow songs
This is where I belong
Sucking sustenance through a straw
