Spleen

No matter how much comes out
I keep vomiting up memories meaning nothing
I can't take all of this silence
This emptiness burns my skin

I'm choking
I'm dying

Why are you letting this happen?
How can you stand by and let us die?
Why did you create me?
Is there nothing that can be done to stop this?

We're drowning, J
You're letting us die
