selfish

claw at my skin cause this can't be my body these selfish pieces of flesh sing that they must jump off me claw at my skin cause the bubbles that swell hold horrors in their glistening exterior these drift & POP inside me coating, singeing the only thing that soothes these burns is repetition repetition repetition claw at my skin cause repetition can steal a life away there are only so many stripes you can award yourself claw at my skin to forget this selfishness as well
