When I died, my shadow decided they would take over

Forgiveness fled the scene, Love left the room

Warm coated memories sink beneath the flood

River lost the rapids and turned to blood

A door mat, a place to plant your boot

I’m not on that floor anymore

Show my teeth without a smile

Claw my way out of your filthy pile

You can’t use me like you did

Dusk lit by flames in my soul

Freeze my woe, a heart so cold

Turn my back on the crying kid

The fog lifted to reveal a path of reckoning

Lonely ember inside this hole

Lay my body down in the creek

Wash away my red stained clothes
