A/N: Ah…it feels so great to be back home from a long visit to a relative of mine. As you can see, I have come up with a new story. I think I was depressed when I wrote this, or something. I love Marilyn Manson and these lyrics are his.

Disclaimer: I don't own JTHM or this song.

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

~We have no future, heaven wasn't made for me~

My emotionless road has failed. The noise just won't stop. It just won't stop! I thought I was able to suppress my compulsions, to not give in. I guess not.

~We burn ourselves to hell, as fast as it can be~

            This place called Earth is Hell. No question about it. D-Boy was right; this world is degrading and it does laugh as you give in into its filth. Why must I be human?

~And I wish I could be a king, then I'd know that I am not alone~

            And Devi. She was the one: beautiful and great to hang out with. I ruined it by listening to the Doughboys. Now she's gone forever. Shit! I hate myself.

~Maggots put on shirts and sell each other's shit~

            I know that I failed. So why do I keep reminding myself? My conscience must be telling me to quit, give up. I think I will do that.

~Sometimes I feel so worthless, sometimes I feel discard ~

            The cold steel runs smoothly up my arm. I stop as I reach my elbow.

~I wish that I was good enough, then I'd know that I am not alone~

            I watch as the blood ooze and drop.

~Death is policeman, death is a priest~

            I watch as my surroundings turn from blue to red.

~Death is the stereo, death is a TV~

            I listen as my breath grows heavier and slow down.

~Death is the tarot, death is an angel and~

            Then it goes black.

~Death is our god, killing us all~

~*~ Depressing, isn't it? I just want to do something like this. I drew fan art and you can see the link in my bio thingy. As the Great Jhonen said: Pleasant something humans. ~*~
