Red- like the blood gushing from each of my wounds
Orange- like the paintings in the morgue
Yellow- like the wilting daffodil lying on my casket
Green- like the dress you wore to my funeral
...

Like a dull toothache

You're just another common pain
With a razor as my Novocaine
...

Your blank face tells me everything there is to hear
All I needed was for you to hold me near
love me always and call me dear
...

He calls 'collection time'
as the souls step in line
It's the devil's time to shine
...

As her heart rate continued falling, falling, falling
She heard an angel calling, calling, calling
Life was slipping,
She was tripping,
