DOOOOOOOMED!
Written with assistance from Caoimhe, Debreni, Riff, and Varg

The anguished tears that I cry
Fall to the pillow where I lie
I've been lying here for days so long
In the empty spaces since you've gone
Shadows fall to veil my sight
And there's nothing left for me but night
The darkness it will not relent
So now I sing my sad lament

And it will fill my dreams with anguished screams
Of failure, anguish, and hurt
For as I lay weeping on my dead lover's grave
My puppy died in childbirth

My sister died of a wasting disease
And the cat came home and gave me fleas
I'd have looked for the cure if I'd had the gumption
But I was too busy dying of consumption
There is no joy, there is no hope
I'd hang myself but I'm out of rope
There are no tears left to cry
That silver inkwell has run dry

And I can hear the noise of forbidden joys
All the happiness I lack
So as my life went spinning out of view
I painted my room black

I'd hold myself to numb the pain
But my poor weak wrists can't take the strain
I'd cut my throat and let my life fade
But someone's stolen my razor blade
There's no relief in the light of day
I can see no colour but a washed out grey
As I lie hear moaning my last words
I think I've been crapped on by a bird

And the darkness shows there's no windows
To the black place in my soul
And I'd go outside to be alone
If it wasn't so damned cold

Yes, I'd go outside to be alone
If it wasn't so damned cold
