Drowning In the Shallow End

The constant rhythm of this rancid thought in mind Drives me crazy with invincible ties that bind Me with insanity and with violence Solely because you made friends with pestillence Through my writings and my screams I show my afflictions upon my heart Through my fists and my swings I prove to you what I've become In my dreams, infected In my cries, worthless They see nothing that makes me, me What I want means nothing and henassy haunts me My sweat-stained shirt and bloodstained walls tell what I can't To find the words to what I feel is like choking on water I once lived deep in love Now I'm drowning in the shallow end
