Watch
Me
Drop

Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
As my legs dangle
Twitching ankles
Take me to the top
With a short trip
And a quick stop
Finally at the end of my rope
Now help me tie the knot

I feel them tugging from below
Safely pull me closer
In embrace of the unknown
Chains of life now meet with locks of death
Anxiously burying myself
As I'm enveloped beneath the stress

I hear the whispers and the laughter
Insidious piercing thoughts
Mischievous lies spilt in my blighted ears

They bade me sit here, think here, feel there, drink there, lie to me, die with me
Gnawing every moment at the back of my skull
Pleading with me begging from the gallows to fall

The disembodied wish me closer to be
Requested simply no dishonor to me
How truly fitting and an honor to see
Suspension of the body animated soul free

Now sat in the darkness and shadows of my seclusion
Utterly bereft of desire to avoid my own conclusion
Theories adhere to me quickly as visions appear to me
My laughter it echoes while blood drips down fingers Clenched hold of this haunting and frayed symbol of my end

They may speak softly
They may speak fervently
Orations persuading me listlessly to my ruin
They may speak quietly
They argue relentlessly
Pervasively sneaking through self reflection

Tie the knot
Watch me drop
Feeling the weight from my shoulders as I separate the neck

Tie the knot
Watch me rot
Feeling my soul fade past as I make peace with my death

As I make peace with my death
As I make peace with my death

Every foot brings me closer to rot
Every moment brings me closer to drop
Every twitch brings me closer to rot
My very last breath brought me closer to rot

Their soundless whispers bring me closer to rot
Their scratching claws bring me closer to rot
Their heavy hands bring me closer to rot
Eternal darkness brought me closer to drop

Close to rot
Close to dead
Close to drop
Close to dead

Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
Four to six feet and I’ll be closer to rot
