you drugged me you took everything from me now im dirty im unclean keep your fucking claws off me you find a girl whos weak whos missing something you give her what she needs security, a place to breathe, then you consume, what she, cant see you're a demon you're a monster and they love you you're the sickness that's been poisoning my people you're a leech, and you drank me one day i'll get back what left me til then i'll storm above your sea and turn the ships you'd hope to breach

we all have our burdens to bear we carry them high we must try our best in this place these are not easy trials despite it we raise up our fists and march firmly on your spirit held tightly to mine you may waver not fall i won't let you crumble to dust i will mend all your cracks there's larger fates needed of us and this torment will pass im still haunted by ghosts of slain pawns of those fabled kings of long past eons excorcise my guilt and shame unshackle inherited pain and let this form succumb to dust to heaven's gates you give me up

nothing left for me to say so let's go our separate ways ill still think about you every day ill still think about you every even though you messed me up turned my brain to mush somehow i miss the pain and fighting even though the love is gone and i'm moving on im looking backwards through tinted glass ven though scars havent healed wounds reopen when i let people close now after everything i miss you most i was your toy and you molded me so being loved is worse than being alone i need to suffer i need to atone lay my wrists down at the foot of your throne i am a cancer just crush all my even though you ruined me and vanquished my steed being your victim is all i needed though you ripped out my heart and tore it apart growing it back is so disconcerting and though bruises still weep i dont understand why you wont hurt me i need to tremble in fear while i sleep that was was pushed me to look up and reach what is a person whose not made to bleed? is that truly a person that im meant to be? arent i garbage thats what you told me stop being nice to me stop it stop even though you messed me up turned my brain to mush somehow i miss the pain and fighting even though the love is gone and i'm moving on im looking backwards through tinted glass ven though scars havent healed wounds reopen when i let people close now after everything i miss you most i was your toy and you molded me so

kyphosis 03:16
the pressures building up dont know how much ill take im carrying the weight will i buckle underneath it i dont want any help i want to prove that i can do this id rather break than give it up id rather break every phalange and carpal in each of my hands and ev ery vertabrae in this kyphotic spine and ill focus until every synapse stops firing and diaphragm draws its last breath and id rather turn this whole solar system into blank space and destroy every person whose caressed my face then admit for one moment in whispering cracks that i can't carry this by myself shoulders start to waver i beg you not to look with pride as my weakness ill march until i drop the weight the reason for living ill drop my fate ill leave in the distance cant live this way and everyone says if i dont change my ways then this year is my last on this earth theyre wrong im stronger than they think i swear that they're wrong i can do all these things i'm a god i'm wrong the flesh its hard and brittle and my grip looses the metal and i slip, the guise it shatters and now id have sooner broken every phalange and carpal in each of my hands and ev ery vertabrae in this kyphotic spine and id have focused until every synapse stopped firing and my diaphragm drew its last breath and id sooner have turned this whole solar system back into blank space and disappear so youd never again witness this face than to let you watch on as my strength finally waned and you would finally see the truth that there maybe are some things i cannot do
