I’m decaying I’m rotting I’m trapped In a cage In my own head My thoughts consuming me Eating me alive I’m covered in bugs That eat my flesh And my brain The walls grow mold Around every memory Spreading through the corners I tried to keep clean I can feel myself fading Like old flowers Forgotten in a room No one opens anymore Everything inside me Feels left behind Like fruit left out too long Like a house abandoned Slowly collecting dust I think I’ve been rotting For longer than I noticed Because things don’t fall apart All at once Sometimes they disappear Piece by piece Quietly Until one day You look in the mirror And wonder When the colors left.

Decay
I’m decaying I’m rotting I’m trapped In a cage In my own head My thoughts consuming me Eating me alive I’m covered in bugs That eat my flesh And my brain The walls grow mold Around every memory Spreading through the corners I tried to keep clean I can feel myself fading Like old flowers Forgotten in a room No one opens anymore Everything inside me Feels left behind Like fruit left out too long Like a house abandoned Slowly collecting dust I think I’ve been rotting For longer than I noticed Because things don’t fall apart All at once Sometimes they disappear Piece by piece Quietly Until one day You look in the mirror And wonder When the colors left.
