Dark One from Mellow Apocalypse by Hot Dog Stand

A death around the corner and it didn't make the news
With seven more worth covering, they couldn't find the room
I close my eyes and realize it's prettier that way
And sew my lips together when there's nothing left to say

There used to be a forest here, there used to be a pond
There used to be a habitat for creatures long gone
The future holds just dead and cold where children used to play
Then sew my lips together when it's too late to say

I'm haunted by the ones below, I'm deafened by their screams
I hear them every waking hour, I see them in my dreams
If I neglect to genuflect, I'll join them there one day
I'll sew my lips together, wait for someone else to say

I close my eyes and realize it's prettier that way
In listless dread monotony of caution gone astray
