Puzzle Pieces From Your Test Subject
unbearable agony for months
heavy painkillers that don't do much
psychologicaly screwing me up
in the midst of your cure for my obsessive compulsive disorder
the guy who leaves
to make it all make sense
undeniable the amount of pain constantly throbbing
from my right testicle
concerned for the lives of 800 people
who may be poisoned from their own environment
yet im the bad guy who just got arrested for caring
sent to a torture chamber facility they call a hospital
the lump that grew on my jaw doesnt concern you?
the bleeding of my bowels is not enough
finaly get to a doctor
after being stranded in this nightmare
hard to think clearly about this situation
when the 911 operator tells me who i should call
to take responsibility for something they obviously dont care about
scared to suffer in that little room with nothing to do
on camera, so i leave the one chance to stop the pain
out of fear
so i call
and i call
number after number
dead end again and again
frustrated, tired, annoyed
no hot water
no heat
rent soo high i cant afford to eat
cuffs on so tight
crying the whole 2 hour drive to the hospital
this is what you have done to me
the saint telling you about the cure in the center of witchcraft
for the black plague
and the lie they lived for christmas
no point calling amnesty international
allah almighty on the other end never seems to come to my rescue
just learning to drive
cant afford my medicine let alone food
the 30 dollar trip just to get to the next town
is an expense i cannot afford
suffering from heartbreak after losing the love of my life
someone else who doesn't care
if i lose my balls
a brother who only comes to see the family when they are sick
as if he's gonna cash in
if you don't think your saw horror movie series is sickening
in this situation jigsaw is your war hero
so round and round we go again
