Ashamed
My sleep is filled with horrors
Of gestures vulgar and obscene
So in my days, my worries hide
Amid those dirty crime scenes
I've spent every waking moment
Sewing my family back close
Just for a night to ruin it all
They're either dead or comatose
It's only in my mind, but I swear
It still leaves a scar in my eyes
To see the ones I love strewn
In a cemetery of straight lies
I know I'm not very sane
But it's just so real
To see them at the table
Preparing their last meal
It settles in my bones
That I can't say farewell
I can only watch as they
Leave me here in hell.
