Here you stay
Along the way
Through the night and day
To go away

There was a man
who smiled and said,
“come with me,
For you’ll see
Life as it’s meant to be”

I went with him
In time of new
For it was you
Who passed me through

The gates of hell
Where the smell
of sulfur
Comes on over
To my shell
Of October


The hunt is on
And will soon be gone

The time has come
Happiness succumbs,
To the darkness in my lungs

you’ve left me here alone
with the hatred you’ve shown
in every throw

Treated as a number
I live in fear
From all the other numbers
Who are near

Ever hit that swells
And every yell
That smells

I curl up and wail
Back in my shell
Till I go to hell
