I want to say I’m sorry for stuff I haven’t done yet

Things will shortly get completely out of hand

I can feel it in the rotten air tonight

In the tips of my fingers, in the skin on my face

In the weak last gasp of the evening’s dying light

In the way those eyes I’ve always loved illuminate this place

Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell

Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell

I will walk down to the end with you

If you will come all the way down with me
