In Memory of Satan Lyrics
Got my paintbox out last night
Stayed up late and wrecked this place
Woke up on the floor again
Cellphone stuck to the side of my face
Dead space on the other end

Crawl down on my hands and knees
In old movies people scream
Choking on their fists when they see shadows like these

Locked up in myself
Never gonna get free
Something sacred, something blue
Cannons in the harbor dawn
I crawled down here to dig for bones
One more season then I'm gone
Black drapes over the crosses
Call in a favor from an old friend
