i'll tattoo these emotions across my wrists
because they're choking me all the way through my skin
wrapping around my veins
tainting my soul like a sick liquor
and no one will understand this suffocation
this slow sort of cancer spreading along my neurons
the numb stage is over
my smile now appears
but it's warped and it's deranged
just like the scars i create
i've been crying for hours
and there's no end in sight
and my nerves are exposed
innocent words
cut to the bone
i climb higher and higher
i topple over the edge

i'll tattoo these emotions across my wrists
because they're choking me all the way through my skin
wrapping around my veins
tainting my soul like a sick liquor
and no one will understand this suffocation
this slow sort of cancer spreading along my neurons
the numb stage is over
my smile now appears
but it's warped and it's deranged
just like the scars i create
i've been crying for hours
and there's no end in sight
and my nerves are exposed
innocent words
cut to the bone
i climb higher and higher
i topple over the edge
Mental disorders combining with personality disorders is a passionate, painful thing.
