Death Within
Blood flowing within
Deep inside of me
Solidifying
I clutch at my heart
Deep inside of me
It's tearing itself apart
Beating out its erratic rhythm
Can't take a full breath or it chooses to stop
Conspiracy of all that surrounds me
This constant stress is causing it to die
The rhythm that it once followed is long gone
Instead it chooses to beat every once in a while
When I laugh, cry or even think about what's coming
One painful beat later and I'm down, hardly breathing
The me that I once was is slowly slipping away
Hooked up to a wall and barely even living
The me that I once was is now made up of wires
Dripping support directly into what is killing me
The blood that had once flowed is now becoming solid
A salty red syrup in the tree that God named me
The God that put me here to live out my existence
Is recalling me, I'm obsolete
I can't give in
Or I'll depart
God damn this beast
Inside my heart
I can't give in
Or I'll depart
God damn this beast
Inside my heart
