Damn it (All to Hell)

and then some

damn it all to hell somedays

you can yell and scream and you can curse

damn it all sideways up and sod it

the tiniest slivers of hope taste the worse

damn it all to hell today

rant and moan and whine

no alerts and no warnings

not even the faintest sign

damn it all to hell last week

empty regrets just equal cranial litter

need reasons to simply be cheerful

it's way too fuckin easy to be bitter

damn it all to hell next week

any progress a backward deviation

a tender morsel if you are on fire

drunken intoxication church of inebriation

not affected by the pomp

i see no fucking splendour

dross scabbage amongst refuge

just another elastic one day bender

damn it all to hell for all times

it’s like really boring star wars scene

i’m crying fuckin razors blades you cunts

not one single one of you know what i mean

damn it all to hell for now and always

and i’ve only got myself to blame

so dark so cold it’s like fridge inside

can’t tell if it will ever be the same

damn it all to hell in a handbasket

that could have been a cry from the trenches

shimmy shammy this ya bastard

the shuffling of many arses on benches

damn it all to hell in a shopping trolley full of lust

still reason has long been gone from here

if different now right here like how

then let them smirk grin jest laugh or jeer
