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
