Affliction

Affliction
By Laura Dee Battle

I slave away, Cause I got addictions to pay
Don't care what they say in the static on display
Go ahead and pray for my soul to once again, be whole
Cause this dark salvation I stole is full of gaping holes
 
Faithless promises to change my self-destructive ways
If you were smarter than this, you would just stay away
I'll rip you apart so I don't have to get too close
I'll bury ashes of the memories that we chose
 
The ones that used to speak when we were listening
The times we still could hear the angels reasoning
Instead our beckoning the dark in sleepless nights
Gave way to strung-out arguments we once thought was our plight
 
But you know it was always me for me, and you for you
So we went our separate ways in lives we never knew
How could I plan to be inside this empty hall of pain?
Inject me with this poison; the blood inside my veins
 
So won't you bleed me from this dying vessel of lies?
Delusions i comprise to hide my willingness to die
I wish this had a happy thought to shine on through the clouds
But some days are just too grey for sunshine in the crowd
