THE GUTTER from GORE by CowardlyCrow

why can't you get out of my mind
trudging through hallways, there's no time
i'm told “this is it”
but it can't be real, i'm not done with it

the sun was so bright, it was blinding me
now it's dim and i can see
the bruises along my spine
i thought you were mine
turns out you were right
all i did was deny

why can't you get out of my mind
trudging through hallways, there's no time
i'm told “this is it”
but it can't be real, i'm not done with it

with every glance back, carves more meat off of me
this is what makes me a tragedy
i rather degrade myself
than seeing that i need to love myself

and i'm so honest when i'm high
i try to be that guy
that people can lean on
but the noose swings whenever it comes by

my splinters will tell me i'm doing fine
when i know it's an utter lie
this gutteral feeling is sawing through my chest
my ribs explode with every thought of your best

and i'm not sure if that makes every thought of mine true
i'm bleeding out i'm not sure what to do

why can't you get out of my mind
trudging through hallways, there's no time
i'm told “this is it”
but it can't be real, i'm not done with it
