Consciousness revives when a needlelike pain erupts from the pores Iron in blood, blood on iron A wound becomes a void Feel my finger press through the stitches A crowbar of flesh Every person has stories to tell, so I tear out all pages one by one The final chapter ends in my two hands Show me to your funeral, I'll show you how to rot You tell yourself to breathe slow Hide underneath the bed and hope that nobody knows Waste away in flesh I know you've tried your best Dwell in a hole, and rot with the rest Persistence outdone Nowhere for you to run Looking down at a barrel of a gun There is no escape from the strangers lurking I can't run away when the crows are perching The murder would cure my decay Murder would cure my decay And now I rot And now I rot I am the corpse of a murderer And now I rot And now I rot Now I rot
