Counting Down

Folder: 
this world

if a heart feels like its weeping

one by one, one by one

all to find thoughts undone

and then there is a forced nightmare

two by two, two by two

just to see the world’s despair

if you see your own locked door

three by three, three by three

to come and give me up the key

and then i watch as virgins die

four by four, four by four

she gets burned down to the core

we wait and wait and wait for light

we’re five by five, five by five

barely breathing, barely live

come and watch the jester’s dance

six by six, six by six

cause he’s lost all his tricks

hear a blind man waits to die

seven by seven, seven by seven

even though he can’t see heaven

the switchblade king comes to cut

eight by eight, eight by eight

watch out now, keep lines straight

please sell your soul to shiatsu

nine by nine, nine by nine

they’re the ones to save your spine

look up to fate in the stars

ten by ten, ten by ten

amen amen amen amen
