No-Go
I emptied it all out of my house and my head
It looks like a robot or beast lives here instead
because I can't feel a thing
drenched in dripping red
I'm as cold as the revolver pressed against my pallate
and as dead as the lead
of the last thing that went through my head
I've finally lost my mind to a flatline
and I'm glad I can't open my eyes again
Centralize, internalize the anger
though I should have let it all go
All that I remember is the anguish of existance
as the star of your freakshow
NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO
NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO NO-GO
Recoiled from the soil,
the soul is spoiled
Your plan is foiled
all of that for which you have toiled.
YOUR FRIEND IS DEAD
YOUR FRIEND IS DEAD
He had to accept his death and defeat
when the spirit was shed
What's left
will only haunt you as a shade
and though you forbade
I matters into,
I took justice
into my own hands anyway
Splatter the gray matter on a silver platter
(It's food for thought)
but you'll soon forget once the ash is scattered
