The Gutter Lyrics
Over my dead body
The stars will let you know it's over
Now if I had my way, I would leave you here to waste your final days buried beneath
With the possibility of how things could be
Oh, please rest assured
This was not my fault and time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me
Beaten, covered in a red so bloody
Oh, my darling can you hear
My words so pure they burn your lying ears?
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
When you're in your bed sleeping toward the void so deep it feels like death
Oh, don't you wait, wait
Oh, my love I hear life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh don't you dare turn your back on me
No use running when the bad guy's coming
Oh I think you got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you got me pegged
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
We were better together, I know that much
Can you see
Through the bad and the good, we had all the luck
The devil's got nothing on us, you and me
Baby, over my dead body
Baby, over my dead body
Baby, over my dead body
We're still counting on you
We'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep counting on you
Mother, come on out
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep - we'll keep fighting
Oh I think you got me pegged as the wrong man
Oh I think you got me pegged
And so the story goes
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
The stars will let you know it's over
Now if I had my way, I would leave you here to waste your final days buried beneath
With the possibility of how things could be
This was not my fault and time is getting short
So I'll be here if you want me
Beaten, covered in a red so bloody
My words so pure they burn your lying ears?
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
Oh, don't you wait, wait
Oh, my love I hear life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
Oh don't you dare turn your back on me
No use running when the bad guy's coming
Oh I think you got me pegged
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter
Can you see
Through the bad and the good, we had all the luck
The devil's got nothing on us, you and me
Baby, over my dead body
Baby, over my dead body
We'll keep counting on you
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep counting on you
Show me what the world is all about
And we'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep fighting for you
We'll keep - we'll keep fighting
Oh I think you got me pegged
When I leave, will you let me go?
When the words stop coming and the fears start setting in slow
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
It's your last chance, honey, better call your mother
Oh, all hope is lost down in the gutter

In the world of the Dark Sentencer, the gutter isn't just a place you fall when you hit rock bottom.
With a few exceptions, every inmate living in the Dark Sentencer is fitted with a belt-like device known as a Gutter. These devices are implanted without anesthesia into a prisoner's abdomen, where they latch on to several vital organs. These devices are linked to kill switches held by the guards - should a need arise, a guard can use their remote interface to activate a prisoner's Gutter, causing the implant to begin violently twisting, drilling into the prisoner's body and destroying all the attached organs in the process.
