styx
say hello
down the hole
where i live is winter cold
spare some change
to heat my place
I'm frozen
the timepiece stopped
the smile is stuck
right on my face
the chosen
cobweb corner
the curio encased
the coffin's closin'
only spirits visit me
to see
my body's broken
clutch the token,
charon,
skeleton friend
is styx still flowin'?
