Enemy Inside

rip open my chest look inside, dig around flesh, bone, bloody mess knife cutting down search every inch bellow the stomach, spline my hands are drenched in fluid and cream Slice open the pipes cut off the air I’d rather die than live this share It must be inside I feel it so much Something that slides avoiding the touch If I could cut straight through the muscle into that hole hear it russell against my back bone clenching with threat sitting like stones I’ll cast it a net Damn the liver it gets in the way I must see what it is something must pay Don’t stop at the lungs it wraps them tight it hides and it runs needing no light cut open my chest from forward to side cut this death leave it no where to hide It steels all the grace I beg for at night and leaves me a taste of evil’s delight If I could just look in feel it and touch the misery friend i wish I could clutch hold it out high for all to see this is what life has made of me
