Death Within

Blood flowing within Deep inside of me Solidifying I clutch at my heart Deep inside of me It's tearing itself apart Beating out its erratic rhythm Can't take a full breath or it chooses to stop Conspiracy of all that surrounds me This constant stress is causing it to die The rhythm that it once followed is long gone Instead it chooses to beat every once in a while When I laugh, cry or even think about what's coming One painful beat later and I'm down, hardly breathing The me that I once was is slowly slipping away Hooked up to a wall and barely even living The me that I once was is now made up of wires Dripping support directly into what is killing me The blood that had once flowed is now becoming solid A salty red syrup in the tree that God named me The God that put me here to live out my existence Is recalling me, I'm obsolete I can't give in Or I'll depart God damn this beast Inside my heart I can't give in Or I'll depart God damn this beast Inside my heart
