LOWER THAN DIRT





I feel the stare over my shoulder
My back has the blade left by another
Day in me as I grow older

I feel it creeping in
On every side again
Stealin' away my love
Taking my sight
Puttin' out passion
Snuffing the light

The darkness is stalking me silently
The cold screams on my nerve endings
Gone in the taste and smell
Of the burning remnants called my hell

All these senses are frozen fast
When the cold darkness falls at last
Burying me forever 'neath the ground
Lower than dirt, this life is bound
Lower than dirt, is where I'm found
