Drag Me Down with You

A song I wrote a couple of months about my ex step-Grandfather. It has a tune; I can hear it so well in my head!

Why

Did you ever pick me?

I

Never thought you would

Put lace around my ankles 

Red ribbon lash marks down my back

Rings like shackles 

'Round my fingers

A snare of pearls around my neck

And if I held your

Malignant heart inside my fist

I'd wring it out

And drink you down, down, down

You'd always be a part of me

So take a shard 

Of broken mirror

And drag it down my wrist

Share your luck 

For another year

It always ends like this

My blood drips down, down, down

Like it always does when you're around

I would lock you 

In a closet

I would swallow

Up the key

Seal you tight in-

Side a barrel 

And roll you out to sea

And you'd sink down, down, down, down

Til no one you loved 

Was left around

Yeah you'd sink down, down, down, down

And you'd be lonely

As lonely as you made me.
