Maniacal Numbers
I scratch at my rib cage
Nails clawing at my skin
As if I could scrape away
The extra weight I feel I've gained
It's like the devil's inside of me
He's disfiguring my bones
I fall to my aching knees
God make him leave me alone
Trapped inside my eyes I'm screaming
The numbers on my scale are screeching
Their maniacal laughter devours my dreams
Someone save me I'm afraid to sleep
