everything and everyone makes me feel insane
the mirror taunts me and I’ll never look myself in the eyes
I’m afraid if I do I’ll rip those ******* out
for who wants to see the person staring back at me

please chain me to the wall and never give me the power to reach
for a simple look will turn everything to stone
I’ll be your Medusa

lock the door and burn the key
why not burn the ******* cage too
the last memory of me should be a nightmare
for that would be all I amount to

let me swallow my sins and never give me holy water
for it will dissolve before it can reach my tongue
why not let me do the job of ending what I started
you know I always thought I was cold hearted

give me a knife and I’ll cut off my wings
I don’t deserve the privilege to fly away
fight or flight will never work on a soul that’s already dead

I think I’d taste of venom
take me to Sarpedon and use me as a weapon
Perseus will be pronounced a hero and I will die a villain

full circle
