Even Worse Than Pain
i can feel my anger rising
and i just cant make it fall
im used to it subsiding
but still my insides crawl
no point to try to stop it
its releasing vein by vein
ripping each one open
to let my anger drain
i feared that this would happen
but not to this degree
i have no outlets left
to sustain my misery
i could try to sew them shut
each and every vein
let you think im happy
while inside i go insane
but then i get a feeling
thats even worse than pain
im feeling every stitch
get ripped from every vein
i guess that is my punishment
for locking it inside
accompanied only by my sadness
which also still resides
