Pencil Rot

There's a villain in my head
And he's giving me shocks
Save me from me, save me from me
His name is leather mcwhip
And he needs to be stopped
Fly above me, fly above my roam
Fly above me, fly above me
Well I never had much of a lovely goal
Leave me halving, halving ever
It's like my mind's been touched
Though I never was born
please deform me, please deform me
Let me out
Of my head
In my bed
It's a lovely leather brown poison
No more shine
With the frame
Of a brain
It's a lovely leather brown poison
It's pencil rot!
