she's my only friend   and she comforts me   when i lie awake   watching the ceiling decay      she frightens   normalcy away   from me   for me   for me      she chokes me   and i cough up everything   the shards the blood   drains away, away, away, away..      i've atoned   for the   things i have done   the wounds   have been   washed away, away, away, away..      i've risen above   my own usefulness   so i'll cut my legs   out from under me and lie      six dark feet   wait for me   to dream   my life   away   away      she chokes me   and i cough up everything   the shards the blood   drains away, away, away, away..      i've atoned   for the   things i have done   the wounds   have been   washed away, away, away, away..
