VIII: Shadow&Gloom

Mother of mine
Mother of mine
I awoke in a sweat in the middle of the night
Oh out 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 so 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
Just shadow and gloom
Mounted on creatures, eyes red and blue
Shadow and gloom
Just shadow and gloom
Oh, humans
Once humans too
Shadow and Gloom
Just shadow and Gloom
Drag me down
Down into shadow and gloom
Shadow and Gloom
I'm a heat seeking missile locked in on my doom
Shadow and gloom
And shadow and gloom
My body's a temple
My body's a tomb
Shadow and Gloom
Just show and gloom
Rise from the dead
Body exhumed
Shadow and gloom
Just shadow and gloom
Drag me down
Down into down into
Shadow and gloom
Shadow and gloom
Mother of mine
Mother of mine
Can you hear me
I'm losing what's left of my mind
