Melancholy is the Devil's Bath

from The Elegiac Repose by Valentine Wolfe

lyrics

Melancholy is the Devil’s Bath

Melancholy is the Devil’s Bath
Best taken in the full light of the moon
Once submerged you’ll never be the same
Each new day a living misery

Melancholy is the Devil’s Bath
Try to walk in the left hand path
Only then will you be set free
From this life of wanton misery

I don’t know where these thoughts come from
A tiny crack has let so many through
I can never push them all back
Now I have to live with my mistake

You were gone but I can’t blame you
All this pain lies at my own door
Even if I heard the knocking
I was far too lost in the fog

Nothing really could have prepared me
Some pains cannot lead to relief
Some things once they are broken
Never can be made whole
