Survive By Myself

by Brad Edwards   Jun 18, 2005


Cold steel flowers cover a rusted grave
Six Feet below this she lies
That venom injected into her iron veins
And acid tears corroded her ever so sweetly
These wounds feel so right
While blood pours from her arms

Let the needle pierce me one more time
I promise Ill let go after this
Yeah, you let go, inaeternum death beholds
So did we as we watched you
Lowered inch by inch in a cold casket
Deeper you slipped into this grave

Dirty needles called her from the tomb
She turned a deaf ear for far too long
Another addict, dead from this
Just one more body to be buried

At least thats what I thought
Until it struck deep in me
I begged you to stop this
But it finished you
And it killed you so good too

Now I sit here, six feet of cold blood between us
My eyes moisten this fresh laid earth
Mourn the loss of the only thing I had left
One more reason to go through with this

And this machination has been in my head for years
I dont want to die, I begged you to finish
Now Im finishing myself
Ive nothing left, and with a single wave
I pull the trigger, as my world falls silent
And I lie bleeding directly six feet above you

Mourning lover commits suicide
Gunshot to the head
Fell silent across his lost love
They will sleep together forever

The headline read this
I guess you got what you wanted
EVeryone knows you now
But Im not herem and neither are you

Ghosts of us is all thats left
Black tears fall so silently
As Im laid to rest
In this eternal bed we share

Dirty needles and lead shots
Were the only way we had to say goodbye
Our love shall never fall silent, although losing its corporeity
For my screams rang out for miles
I love you is all they heard
And with that, one last shot to the head
