I'm the scorpion outside your window
Tapping at the screen
I beg for you to let me in
That's when the covers draw over your eyes
I'm the skull that perches on the piano
Looking into you
I'm the single intrusive thought
You attempt to forget
Embrace me and
Decide your fate
We all return to dirt in the ground
We're all black sludge
Embrace me for the ones you've lost
You owe them nothing
They're all black sludge
Cross the River of Styx
And burn me at the stake
Sacrifice has become your means of transit
You need not be afraid of what you are
Harness what you have
Let me creep under your skin
It feels good to take control
You know what you need to do
Embrace me and
Fuel me for
Your only task
You wish they were dead
You wish they were dead
You wish I was dead
You've entered yourself and cannot escape
They're all black sludge
