Spreading like cancer, growing in my very core An ulcer I thought I fought off long ago A festering wound unable to heal completely Flooding my veins with poison from within my soul The mirror reveals a stranger, all I feel is scorn I try to avoid deeper depths of despair But remain trapped in it's lair Shed my skin, turn me to ash Flay the guilt from my bones Rip muscles from flesh Incinerate me alive and Just turn me to ash Drown my liver in poison Disrupt my lungs from breathing Just trying to feel alive but instead Bringing myself closer to death But I'm too afraid to walk the final step How many lost this gamble with a pinch of regret before it went black Chained to misery due to forced neglect You let me fucking go and I left myself for dead
