Ten Floors Down

about

this has actually happened in our city

lyrics

Upstairs-he went - carried up by a small box
Familiar-faces - the circle hasn’t changed
Half a year gone by without feeding the vein
short words exchanged in an empty flat

The shot hit gold
his mind just hit the floor
This is the way out
collapse and fall through the door

Tumbling Backwards
hands searching for hold
familiar faces
melting together with walls
a cold wave of blood
spreading in his torso
no words are left
by an open mouth

Some steps-downstairs
then everything turned to ice
Air left his lung
Pinpoint pupils shut off the light
That’s where_the others
found him dead and dragged him back
inside

Rigor mortis made a visit.
Did it’s job and departed.
Grey deranged extremities
in the arms of decay.
The appartment started to smell.
while flies did find their castles.
It became unbearable.
and raised a treacherous smell.

Wrapped up- in a curtain- they stuffed him in a closet.
Even heroin- can’t cover - the smell of a dead body.
The blooming - stench reached out. Reached out - into the stairhouse.
The radius kept growing.

They tossed his corpse off the balcony..
