VIII: Shadow & Gloom

Mother of mine! Mother of mine!

I awoke in a sweat in the middle of the night!

In the East, where the shadows lie

Where the dawn won't come and the sun won't rise!

But, oh, this weight gets too heavy to bear

It crushes my lungs as I come up for air

And everything is soooo clear

When I just disappear

Chemical bank! Chemical bank!

My credit's been shot at the chemical bank!

And I just want ONE little taste

But everything's rotten! Everything's rank!

It all boils down into poisonous ash

That rains down on me in a vomitous mass

And static is all I can hear

So I just disappear

And now I'm having an out-of-money experience!

This fever's getting higher and I'm getting delirious!

Elbow room! Elbow room?

Can I get some elbow room?

I just need to breathe for a minute or two

Can I get some elbow room?

I just want some fucking sleep!

I've been writhing around on the ground like a cat in heat!

And nothing is sacred or pure!

So I just disappear!

And now I'm stuck in the middle of a mass extinction event!

The extinction of all of the good that they want to forget!

They suck the light out from the room (Shadow and Gloom)

Mounted on creatures, eyes red and blue (Shadow and Gloom)

Oh, humans! Once humans too? (Shadow and Gloom)

Drag me down! Down into (Shadow and Gloom)

I'm a heat seeking missile locked in on my doom! (Shadow and Gloom)

My body's a temple! My body's a tomb! (Shadow and Gloom)

Rise from the dead! Body exhumed! (Shadow and Gloom)

Drag me down! Down into (Shadow and Gloom)

Mother of mine! Mother of mine!

Can you hear me? I'm losing what's left of my mind!
