Only Thorns Remain
Cyclical Rot
Failure Failure of the highest degree There’s no hope left for me There’s no hope In the worst way Hope for better days And by that I mean Cessation Worn on down to the bitter end I saw the frostbitten digits of my own sin Now the weight can’t be carried anymore Saw the rope and it called me, it called me home Only thorns remain Roses wilted at my grave
