Soup of Decay

[Verse 1] Stirring the pot, its surface bubbling, Moments slip, my memory troubling, Laced with secrets left unsaid, Ghostly murmurs of the long-forgotten dead. [Pre-Chorus] Bubbles rise to the surface, and pop, A bitter brew that is hard to drop, Stir it slow and steady, let it rot, All that’s left is what I've got. [Chorus] In the soup of decay, I drown the pain, All my broken dreams circling the drain, I sip the sorrow, taste the lie, In this cauldron where my ghosts never die. [Verse 2] Bones and dust swirl in the mix, Truths and shadows and lies and myths, Laughter turned to cries that haunt me, Tears of long goodbyes that taunt me. [Pre-Chorus] Bubbles rise to the surface, and pop, A bitter brew that is hard to drop, Stir it slow and steady, let it rot, All that’s left is what I've got. [Chorus] In the soup of decay, I drown the pain, All my broken dreams circling the drain, I sip the sorrow, taste the lie, In this cauldron where my ghosts never die. [angry instrumental] [Bridge] Secrets boil and whispers burn, Round and round, the memories churn, Savor the poison, let it stay, Feast upon the soup of decay. [Chorus] In the soup of decay, I drown the pain, All my broken dreams circling the drain, I sip the sorrow, taste the lie, In this cauldron where my ghosts never die.
