here i sit 
all by myself
blood flowing down
out of my heart
till in the morn
theres nothing left

an empty shell
a walking husk
into myself
with all the words
of a parrot’s mouth

zombie walkin
in the streets
but no one cares
cause i’m just meat

meat with eyes that do not see
and ears that hear
but do not speak

blood flows ‘round
the table bare
and pools upon
an empty chair

the blood flows in
the blood flows out
decay is growing 
within my heart

‘n all around me
the night goes on
darkness closes
snuffs out the spark
