Lyrics - The Plough by Harper Roy

The demons catch me
On the stair
And
I don't know where,
I am
I don't know how
I got there
Where was
I going?
What was
I doing?
Before that same thought
Reached down and caught
Hooked me in the gut
Cursed me from every angle
As
I was pulled out
Of the water again
And began to suffocate in pain
Desperately grappling
To untie the knot
That
I can't even get hold of
That
I can't see but only feel
What am
I doing?
How the hell did
I lose her?
How could i?
Why did
I say things
I didn't mean?
Where have
I just been?
The house creaks
In the silent parting
Of the day after day
Of no one
Not a sound
Why was she so mean?
Was it because she felt she could be
Because she felt she was right?
O what a prick
I am
What a shite
And what am
I holding?
O...
Yes, it's a plug
Why can't she understand?
Because she's never been left
She's my drug
And now cold turkey
Where was
I going?
To put it on the lamp
That's right
I wonder whether she's looked up
And seen the plough tonight?
