_{my veins pump, swelling with a stygian and
piceous swill
i'd like to believe i'm better than this
but the god honest truth is that
i saw it coming a mile away
i am nothing more than
cancerous

and i can't help but feeling
like i want to crawl
out of my own skin

even my spine
is slowly inching it's way
towards a fleeting
escape

my yellowed belly
is all that remains
and has yet to let me down

besides my fear
oh, the fucking fear
god damn, the fucking fear

i've grown weary of
trying to face my demons
head on
when i can't figure out
if they are
self imposed
or a product of
my past

i can't tell how much is left
but i worry that
i'm at the end of my rope
but hopefully all of this
preparation
will soften the blow
when i finally hit rock bottom
face first

my heart has long abandon me
forcing me to push away
those that matter most

oh, you
fucking toxic
monster

you saw this coming
all along

so what will my excuse be
when i've hurt everyone i love
and it consumes what is left
of me
and i have to look them in
the face
and tell them my demons won}
