Beer and Grass

Darkness creeping over me
Like a blanket to keep me warm
But the chill still stabs my heart
Lost in darkness without form

Pins of fire and needles of ice
Peircing my skin and bone
My stomach in my body turning
Cold and blind and sick I moan

Distant voices echo in
Calling out my name to me
Dead to the world, a dreamless sleep
From my torment sets me free
