• Soundtrack for a Downward Spiral
    The melody of her life
    Composed by a demon strumming
    Chords born from random finger positioning
    It doesn’t sound too good
    It might hurt your ear
    He calls himself an artist
    A creator of misery and disarray
    She says with crying eyes
    And tense muscles
    “End this pain
    Stop this train
    Please, let me smile, again.
    The time has come
    For me to see the sun
    I have learned my lesson
    Just let me out
    Of this fire pit
    I swear I’d do anything.”
    The demon just laughs
    And violently plucks that black
    twisted guitar of fate
    She falls to her knees
    In the worst defeat
    The past is permanent
    as death.
    The dear Lord God
    Sent His most precious angels
    To help her up again
    But her vision
    Fatally impaired
    By the saddest of tears
    She didn’t see
    Those outstretched hands
