I've Been Dying

Single Gun Theory


Words are whispering past me 
I don't hear them anymore 
life is falling around me 
I can't hold onto it 
slipped through my fingers 
people speak, I've no reply 
I'm empty inside 
bu for the incessant screaming 
which refuses to subside 
can you hear it? 

I've been dying a long time 
down on my knees 
there's no way out of here 
I've been dying a long time 
can't seem to pick up the pieces of my life 

Living sculptures of the dead 
my pastime, to pain gone past 
I offer this shrine to you 

this alter to despair 
this chalice of anguish I am 
can you bear to sip this holy water 
can you bear one droplet of my wine? 

A rather monumental occasion, isn't it? 
Twelve months ago to the moment you destroyed yourself,
