Seems three years - though maybe four

someone drops dead - whom i adore

you love someone - there will be grief

the kiss of death - lips of a thief - goddammit



A dusty stack of photographs

of times i cried - but mostly laughed

commit the past - into blue flame

acrid smoke - cowardly shame - goddammit



At times i'm truly terrified

cause dope and booze - don't help to hide

they're used to mask - a weakling's hurt

it's just like painting - over dirt



Everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead - all dead



life's a game i cannot win

both good and bad - must surely end

the mirrors - always tell the truth

i love myself for hating you



Everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead

everyone i love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead - goddammit



Goddammit



All dead - all dead

all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead - all dead

goddammit
