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
