The water’s getting deeper
It’s a struggle just to breathe
I wish someone would save me
I need a reason to believe
The current’s getting stronger
It’s pulling me below
Down to the darkness in me
Trapped by the undertow
I’m not strong enough to fight it
But I don’t know if I should try
They’ll do just fine without me
It’s better just to die
The selfish choice
Was the one you made
Greed over friendship
Was the price you paid
Was it worth it
Only you will know
But I hope you suffer
You reap what you sew
I never liked you
You were not my friend
I hope you lose them
All bad luck I send
You hurt someone
Who I hold dear
I am now your enemy
You should fear
Depression whispers lies in my ear
Telling me all the things that I fear
I don’t want to listen, don’t want to hear
But my depression knows
All that I hold dear
‘They don’t love you’
‘They’re not your friends’
‘You’ll be all alone in the end’
‘You are worthless’
‘Be ashamed’
How do I cease the voice inside
Telling me to run and hide
To shut myself from those I love
To hang from the ceiling
Or escape in drug
Tell me what I can do
Why can’t I feel loved like others do
Why does depression kick in my door
Convince me
I’m not loved anymore
I have to fight it, I know I can
But no one can help me
I’ll only drive them away
My depression
Is going to win one day
They sway there, to and fro
From the meathooks, row by row
Their screams an unending cacophony
The very sweetest symphony
They thought that they could cast me out
Shun me so, without a doubt
So I show them endlessly
The torment that they gave to me
I am alone, but as before
Their blood drips down upon the floor
This is the fate they brought to me
I give it back without mercy
Time to weep
Time to cry
Time to scream
Time to die
It is over
It is done
I was gone
‘fore you’d begun
Darkest whisper
Silent night
Save the scream
Of your fright
Betrayer false
Betrayer true
You hurt me
I maim you
I’m the whisper
In the night
I’m the fear
I’m the delight
Your final hour
Is at hand
On my altar
Will you rend
Time to weep
Time to cry
Time to scream
Time to die
Goodbye
At the junction of left and right
I will stand and watch your plight
When you are neither up or down
I’ll come around, I’ll come around
When you are neither back or fore
You’d better hope they locked the door
When you are neither standing or sitting down
I’ll come around, I’ll come around
With skin not black or white
My hand shall grip your wrist so tight
Your blood runs neither red or blue
I’ll find you, I’ll find you
In a place made not of wood or stone
I’ll tie you down in my snug home
In neither river nor a stream
I’ll take you….and you will scream
Tick tock, three ‘o clock
Tick tock, four
Tick tock, five ‘o clock
Tick tock, more
Blood blood
Dripping down
Your time is running out
How much longer do you have
Before your blood’s drained out?
Tick tock, six ‘o clock
Tick tock, seven
Tick tock, eight ‘o clock
All the way to eleven
Blood blood
Dripping down
And yet you’re still alive
What a mockery of life you make
Living only to die
Tick tock, twelve ‘o clock
Tick tock, one
Tick tock, two ‘o clock
I see your time has come
Blood blood
Dripped all down
Your life is at its end
There’s no more blood to drip
And so this tale does end
Tick tock
Tick tock
Tick…
One, two, three, four
Comes the knocking at the door
Five, six, seven, eight
That knocking is becoming quite irate
Nine, ten, eleven, then
The knockings stopped only to begin again
One pound, two pounds, three pounds, more
Who the hell is at my door?!
Four pounds, five pounds, six pounds, seven
I wait to see if they’ll reach eleven
The pounding stops at thirteen
And outside I hear a most unholy creen
I peek outside only to see
The knocking and pounding was done by me
Now a corpse lying on the ground
Silent now, making not a sound
But how can I be there when I stand here?
I think I’m going to need a beer
Seeking out sweet liquid relief
I find the answer to my disbelief
My body’s dead, but a husk
Leaving me but a soul to rust
Oh the bane of Hallow’s Eve
I shall now relive my murder without reprieve
All Hallows Eve, a frightful blight
Filled with such curious sights
Witches, ghouls and demons alike
Only appear on All Souls Night
So what shall you do on this Samhain
Hide, bar the doors and thus remain
Or will you give these spooks delight
And welcome them with pumpkin light
When silence strikes
The golden moor
When love is
But a faint memory
When your breath
Speaks not again
Only then will peace
Be known to me
When screams fade
Into the dark
When children cry
For justice
When the winds
Still the angry yells
Peace will return
To this land
Fade away
Into the black
Never to return
To the light
When the screams
Are silenced
Only then
Will I be satisfied
