A Selfish Plot
Popping pills to keep me happy?
I want to drink until I'm stupid.
Waste my life away
The destination you predicted
Blood will flood my eyes
You spit ice and freeze my tears
A perfect fit for punishment
It is hard to inhale
The breath you have tightened
So I licked the happiness from the wound
Breath in
A dark soul
A selfish plot
New scabs and a few old scars
Keeps me feeling sane
In this heavy moment
A blaze of demons sent
Spreading venom that surrounds my heart
Numbing visions of what was
Altercations smoldering
A shadow's glance is a downcast feeling
Fighting to end this rage
Harmony hinting softly
These jaded wings it must renounce
When angel's toss their haloes
My heart can beat no longer
I bleed alone
