12 Something Rotten
Death Note
It seems we're here I
Miss you something rotten
The stinks are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten
Down here
Down here it's clear that your uncut
Don't fear
Don't fear, keep all this forgotten
Face down
Face down
Face down, I miss you something rotten
Face down
Face down, this crown is broken rotten
Down here, down here, I know its not, it's all forgotten
Down here, down here, face down, I miss you something rotten
Down here, down here, it stinks, it stinks of something rotten
Don't fear, don't fear, keep all this forgotten
There's something rotten down here
I never liked you all that much. This place is terrible, where you lived for all those days, surrounded by criminals, surrounded by your own madness and gripping competition with me. I hated it, the way you always had to be better than me and never could be. I wanted, somehow, to let myself be worse so I could give you what you wanted. But that was just impossible for me.
If I think hard enough I can almost smell the scent of your hair, it smelled like burning and motorbike oil and dark chocolate. I miss you, I miss the smell of your hair, I miss your constant presence, a buffer against the world. You hung off me like a person hangs to the end of a kite, you held me down. Sometimes, without you, I feel like I'm floating.
I wish I could bury my face in your hair now, feel the warmth of you like I did those precious few times, but you are nothing but earth and bone now – a stinking, broken, rotten corpse, fossilised by fire. You're still in my head. I want you back. I forgive you for everything you did, everything you said, down here in this little room, all burnt and choked and silent, I miss you something rotten.
