Leeching Life - Desultory

Drained from wounds that you cannot see

Carry nothing and have nothing to give

Swim in chaos, smother in doubt

A painful life now lies ahead

Now it’s dark inside

Memories stashed away

Now it’s dark inside

Shame and guilt is our child

There’s no light where we stray

No salvation where we aim

Don’t want to die if I never lived

Close the door, you’re on your own

Pain is all they left behind

Pain is all that’s left inside

Right here I fall

Right here is where it ends

Blood in my eyes

Blood in my mouth

Moving on but can’t you see?

We’re just an inch from falling down

Walking backwards, embracing the dead

Can’t go back, you’re on your own

Now it’s dark inside s

Shame and guilt is our child

Now it’s dark inside

Memories stashed away
