Crashes,

Past Churches among Coals

I am in a room
Drinking at a party
And smoking weed

Watching people all around me

Change into hideous creatures
Monsters from the deepest depths of hell

Everyone in the room 
Has been transformed except me

I am in a room

Monsters from the deepest depths of hell

Slice me with your tongue
Razor blade wounds
To suck out all my poisons
