Downthrow

You lied to me When you said I could breathe underwater I often bathe in sin But now I’m afraid of the open sea Anxiety chokes me like razor wire Raped by my childhood Sorry I didn’t hear you I was busy dying in the corner You’ve ripped at me and you’ve torn at me You poked and you slaughtered You took blood from my veins And painted me a masterpiece Flaming drops of insanity Are the tears you created And from now on I will Beat my fist against my chest If only to prevent my heart from beating for you
