Face the Stench

They called to him from across the veil
I brought him back but not for long
In basement rooms and bathroom stalls
From in the walls they called for surrender

That's strange, he said
When the walls were crawling

A tiny voice came choking out
While all the lights were flashing
A broken heart stops beating
While your ghosts were calling

In the silent room on burn marked sheets
Laid on the bed and played with death
He sank back down with shallow breath
Break down the door and face the stench

That's strange, he said
When the walls were crawling

I lost my the ground beneath my feet
While all your chaos consumed me
A restless heart that beats no more
And still your ghost keeps calling

How do I go on without you
How do I go on without you
How do I go on without you
How do I go on without you
How do I go on, do I go on
Do I go on, do I go on
Without you
