The Gloom In The Corner
Clutch
I knew we'd made a mistake as soon as I stepped inside
I smell the liquor on his breath; A subtle hint of red wine
Our driver laughed, a chaotic grin on his face
He asked us where we're going; “I can take you any place"
Take me home, take me home, take me home now
Take me home
Another one for the trip, another one for the road
The bottom of the bottle is the lowest you can go
A girl like you would never survive the road
(Take me home)
My burdens are too much to bear
My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear
(Take me home)
My bleeding heart has bled dry
Another reason I'm not to be left to drive
The hands of fate turn the wheel
Poison begins to lose its feel
Into the bones seep toxic woe
Indistinguishable friend or foe
Demons claim your right to think
No one forced you to have another fucking drink
With loose lips, ships die and sink
Like karma and the devil working in sync
(I'm losing control)
“But I'm bound to Hell, and loving it”
(Burn my body when I'm done)
“I'm having too much fun”
Spit out your tongue
Demon of the wheel, spit out your tongue
“Oh, the Royal Queen in the passenger seat; of everyone I've driven, you're the only one to lose their shit”
(Take me home)
My burdens are too much to bear
My spirit is broken and I'm looking worse for wear
(Take me home)
My bleeding heart has bled dry
Another reason I'm not to be left to drive
(Take me home)
Another one for the trip, and one for the road?
The bottom of the bottle, the lowest you can go
(Take me home)
And me, I won't survive the road
Foot to the floor, let's make us nothing more
Foot to the floor, let's make us nothing more
Pirouette to the collapse of the machine
A tragedy we should have foreseen
Metal scrapes as it dances across the asphalt
Death laughs like he's not at fault
Trapped inside a cage of substance so bitter
We all burn together
We all burn together
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, get me out of this fucking car
“Use this to draw the blood of the Baron and you three will be returned to Earth enlightened
But be warned, if used to slay the ruler of your realm, the ones you love will return but not in the way that you desire
Beware the wolves, maintain the keepers of the gates or converge our three worlds, and be struck down by Hell's rain”
