Please take me down
Down to that room of blood
Under the lights, In the cold
Like a sacrifice
Swept away from myself
By the languid dripping, time creeps crippled
And marches backwards into the black
Rising to a world of red
Where white knuckles grip the rails
I feel a rag clenched in my teeth
Nerves on fire, time disappears
Open me! Read my future in the viscera
Hollowed Out and Nailed Shut!
Butcher me! Read my future in the viscera
Hollowed Out and Nailed Shut!
Don't let me drown beneath the waves in a sea of pain
But carry me to distant shores of rest
