As we near the end, do you think he sees it too?
Do you think he sees the burnt foot steps in the carpet
that follow him
as he wanders around at night?
Suppose he demands
a fan to be brought over
because the walls are shrinkin in,
and theres sulfur in the air.
do you think they see it too?
the people that surround him?
such looks of love, the likes of
a botfly to a corpse.
he walks like that, I think
and leans the way he does
because those hooks from down below
are tuggin at his drawers.
He can feel it, I pray
and that's what robs him of his sleep.
and it aint his phone casting that flickering light
on his walls at night when he tweets
when the time comes, lord I pray
just for a moment, give him back his mind
so as he's gettin dragged down to hell,
he can feel it the whole way down.
