I would rather I rot
I would rather do just about anything than to keep living this way
I'd rather walk over a thousand broken whiskey bottles
Than to burn in this hell you call a life
I'd rather carve my flesh from the bone with a butter knife
Than decay in this prison you say is a refuge
I would rather die than exist in this house you call our home
I would rather rot than live this way another day
But away I will rot because I have come too far to quit now
M.K.
