I am tethered to my impulse Sever my tongue For every time I utter my hopeless laments I taunt myself further past your archetype of mind Greater failure clots within the fibers of cotton and blood at the seams Cowering with fear that I'll never amount to a fucking thing Atrophy ingests my weakened blueprint A life of waste Cursed to diminish glimmers of confidence through evil faced Obscured by fragility Wandering into moments I can't take back Justifying procrastination just to ease my aimless head Cowering in fear that I have wasted too much breath Screaming all my entitlements until my skin turns red My voice trembles at the thought of growing old Improvising motions based off memories of you But I would rather drink myself to death Than feel ashamed Of losing all the time I had To live up to your name Hiding in wait for nothing Falling into a trance Threading needle through my eyelids so that I can witness Everything around me falling out of place Just watch it burn
