Gutter

You are the song, I'm the applause Dragging so long, sharpening claws You are a book, that I haven't read Know what I lost, forget what I have I am a vulture, eater of death You are a sculpture, lost all my breath I have a question, do you have the time Give me an answer when you hear the chime I'm in the gutter, pull me out Close all the shutters, watch as the drought Ends all the others, cover my mouth Let me get smothered by the storm cloud Let me stay up, lay by your head Filled up my cup, laced it with dread There is an angel on my shoulder And there is a devil dead in the corner I won't give up without a fight But I'm a pup, without a bite Lend me your ear, and just one night I'm thinking left but feeling right I'm in the gutter, pull me out Close all the shutters, watch as the drought Ends all the others, cover my mouth Let me get smothered by the storm cloud
