my zombie song

i'm posting my lyrics of a song about zombies, actually a zombie, but yeah - the title changed, it was the longest night alive, but now it's not - see...

"Early Sunsets On The East Coast"

Blood stained shirts and bloodshot eyes
Its not so easy to sift through the lies
You said this, I retorted with that
God knows I didn’t want it to end up this bad

The shotgun’s in the kitchen, sitting on the counter
There’s puddles on the floor, smears on the door
Smashes through the window, cracks through the boards
I’ve never had to fight so hard, for something I took for granted
But now here I am with blood soaked hands

They are everywhere now, waiting for us like blood-crazed leeches
Watching us with those hungry hungry eyes
And when you fell, I couldn’t do anything, I was helpless
There was blood all over and you were screaming
I couldn’t do anything but watch you slowly fade away

So I had to carry you back to our boarded shelter
And I pointlessly bound your wounds to ease the pain
You moaned so loud, you screamed death
All I could do was sit and wait until you turned
It was the longest night I’ve ever live through

When the cover slid off your face, I knew the time had come
So now with this crowbar in my hand, there is only one choice
I closed my eyes and as they burned, I smashed you out of torture
With the tears dripping from my eyes to wash the blood away
I finally realize that I’m not okay anymore
