Everyone I Love Is Dead (Edit)

[Previously unreleased edit]
[Full length version can be found on the album World Coming Down]

Seems three years - though maybe four
Someone drops dead - whom I adore
You love someone - there will be grief
The kiss of death - lips of a thief - goddammit

A dusty stack of photographs
Of times I cried - but mostly laughed
Commit the past - into blue flame
Acrid smoke - cowardly shame - goddammit

At times I'm truly terrified
Cause dope and booze - don't help to hide
They're used to mask - a weakling's hurt
It's just like painting - over dirt

Everyone I love is - dead - everyone I love is - dead - all dead

Life's a game I cannot win
Both good and bad - must surely end
The mirrors - always tell the truth
I love myself for hating you

Everyone I love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead
Everyone I love is - dead - everyone i love is - dead - goddammit

Goddammit

All dead - all dead
All dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead all dead
All dead - all dead
Goddammit
