I took the four walls of your bedroom and painted them in black
Covered up the red just like a fuckin heart attack
Now send me down and sing me to sleep
Darlin, just ignore the stories
They aint for you or me
Now send me down and sing me to death
While i wake from this nightmare and pray for one more breath
You dug a hole so deep it couldve taken half the town
Not sure I wanna sleep in there but im sure you’ll push me down
Now send me down and sing me to sleep
Darlin, just ignore the stories
They aint for you or me
Now send me down and sing me to death
While i wake from this nightmare and pray for one more breath
This mortality you granted me isnt working anymore
I know I often fault you but I fear i will once more,
I dont believe, I ever will but I cant be so sure
This cold blood running through my veins has gone stale forever more.
Now send me down and sing me to sleep
Darlin, just ignore the stories
They aint for you or me
Now send me down and sing me to death
While i wake from this nightmare and pray for one more breath

I'm Steve, I love to write stories and songs that are eclectic, wierd and thought provoking. Possibly a little macabre but that never hurt anyone ;).

Blood
There's blood at the window. Blood on the bed. Blood in the ashtray. Blood from my head. In pools by the door. In lakes in the bath. Painting the walls. There's red by the draft.
Banished
Your beauty didn't suffice. To save you from the thunder. Your lover, cold as ice. Put you six feet under. Leaving your loved ones. You became a beast. Letting blood blind your eyes.

I sit in this meadow Mild and meek My mind very twisted My memory bleak My eyes blank and dusty And my cheeks, do i dare. The grass is all dead The tree's are all bare.
Little Screams
Take me down to the bridge by the river, Tell no-body, Drop me into the icy waters, Mourn me.

Wrote this long ago, but I tweaked it completely. Gave it new beat.
