My Only Salvation

I felt it leave me
The need to be pretty
Now love has gone

Just stick to self destruction
Trying to look as ill as possible
The coat I always pull on

When life is beyond
My control
Beyond my ability to steer

Panda eyes a ritual
No point in firing the eyes
If you are not here

Which self destruction button
Is the best to press
Bulmia, or starvation

Either way
The black dog now
Seems to be my only salvation..
