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 Felicia S.
