Long Way Down

(album: Beneath The Roses - 2023)

2 a.m. I think I found Nirvana
Cigarettes, old cassettes, but baby I'm a goner
So I won't let you know there's poison in this water
If I can't save my soul, well, at least I died beside her

You had my back, but I knew I'd make you hate me
Love's a trap and when it snaps, well, it never kills you gently
Drag your nails down my arms, if I bleed, that means I like it
If I don't, it means I'm starved of a normal human heart

Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?

It's a long way down to hell
And it gets lonely when I'm driving by myself
Yeah, it's a long, long, long way down
But it ain't so bad when you're around

When you go, just let me have my moment
It's a shame, but I know it's not your fault I'm lonely
You're a sheep, I'm a wolf, I can't help that I get hungry
I still feed on scraps and bones, but I need a human heart

Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?
Can I have yours?

It's a long way down to hell
And it gets lonely when I'm driving by myself
Yeah, it's a long, long, long way down
But it ain't so bad when you're around
But it ain't so bad when you're around

This life's a long, long, long way down
I just fall faster every time I make it out
Yeah, it's a long, long, long way down
But it ain't so bad when you're around
