Soul Burn

Bleeding from the inside; I feel sickly Seething with anger; I’ve got to move quickly Fighting my inner soul; a battle out of control Spirits who surround me; I am not myself at all Feeling like a median; a conduit for the damned I feel all their pain; I feel their demand As they breach the surface of my body from within I become something I am not; I start to help pitch in Vulnerable at the mind; weak in the heart These hellish demons are tearing me apart! It doesn’t matter at all; I’m near dead inside Numb to the pain; I’m just here for the ride As I scan the room side to side; my guess is as good as yours There’s nowhere left to hide; Just walls, ceilings, and floors Empty spaces are in between; the environment here is cold and mean Slipping in and out of reality; somebody please just end it for me I am going nuts, in fact insane; I don’t even know if this is my actual brain Even when it’s sunny, it feels like rain; my soul is on fire, my body always in pain Here I am, I am yours for the taking; pluck me from my tree Pick me because I’m fresh, and full of energy Use me to fill your greedy satisfaction; you have no heart, just distraction Place me in your control, walk me to the edge and let me jump down the hole Misery is close, I can taste the mist of sorrow; I missed out for my life you borrow Walking in place, the world moves for me; well what’s the point if there is no glory People walk around, yet I see their puppet masters We’re all driven by force, causing all sorts of disasters We are all ticking time bombs, waiting to explode The time flies fast, as we all corrode Listening to your words, as they fade away Today I am dead, tomorrow is another day
