Misery

Bite my tongue to keep from screaming

Rip open my chest to show I'm bleeeding

Carve your smile into my skin

Just to watch you laugh again

 

Slit these wrists just to breathe

Vent this **** growing inside of me

Tear out this heart, watch it pound

Just to stomp it in the ground

 

Watch me burn myself to ashes

Slowly cover my skin with gashes

Release the poison swelling inside

Escape the agony that resides

 

Flood these lungs with screams of rage

Scribble the anger on this page

Scratch out my eyes so I can't see

The misery that's fuckn killing me
