Predicted Pain

I need someone to save me from myself Cause I can hurt myself more than anyone else I steal the air from my lungs with a belt I put fire onto my tongue and it melts My skin is gone, my wounds are infected The dotted lines upon my skin are self-inflicted In my mind lingers a darkness, that does not yet exist I cannot recall happiness, it's all a bloody mist I can feel my skin burning from the scars I haven't made yet This is pain, not just me being upset I see crystal clear blood soak into the carpet Although my pain is completely disregarded Sink your teeth into me and devour all my flesh Show me no mercy, make the floor a bloody mess As I feel my breath decay and my sight's drifting away I smile and close my eyes as I embrace my final fate
