Hemineglect - Alfred Lyrics

You couldn't even see the moon
It all just kind of became a haze
We didn't even hear them come in
The candles lit from dinner
Warm light fills the room
Shadows don't dance they kill
I do not recognize the footsteps
If only I'd thought more of it
Maybe there would still be more of us around

The charred remains of a mind engulfed in flames
The coals still glowing red. This one wasn't long for this world
To be alone one must be a beast or a god
Even with eyes closed the trauma still sneaks in

Leave it You don't know it just believe it
Top of the list leverage and requisition
Thrown from your armchair and beat with petitions
On the corner lives the man who has the knowledge
Last time he saw you now he's breaking collars
Nowhere to go to All in his eye
Remember his name
Alfred Paul
Idle eyes make idle minds Idle eyes Idle minds

That was the last time I was sane Before I was a victim
Please tell me a story from before I died
And try to make it last forever
Padded walls always fall victim to hate
And the lights always go out
There's no more blood to spill There's no more blood to spill
