Untitled

Different levels, different creatures
Objects of shame and regret 
We stain ourselves
Then try to forget 

My eyes have seen the blinding and the fading lights 
I don't bother to put up a fight 
I still allow the mist to trail down my cheeks like tears 
Fogged 
Blinded, but I did it to myself
I am ashamed of the things I had gotten into 
Can't stay above this 
Couldn't care to swim
But it just so happens that I like the taste of what I'm drowning in
