No more
Rockin' out I was one night
When a vulture came along.
But he was dressed as a prince,
So I sang for him my song.
He saw the suffering in my eyes,
My skeletal body fade.
Saliva seeped from his mouth,
It seems my bed was made.
Oblivious I was to his game
I spilled my heart for him
As i grew weaker in and out,
He knew that he would win.
Only a few times did he show his real face,
At which I turned and fled.
But soon again he'd reel me back in,
And control what was left of my head.
Until one night, I called for help.
My friends waited at the shore.
They quickly grabbed me from his grip,
Now I see his face no more.
