The words they've said
They get stuck on your head
You start to wish you were dead
As you lie on you bed

The moment you wake up
You feel a sting
You tried to cover up
The blight on your skin

The blight then spreads
It burns your skin
You hold down your screams
And hide them deep within

The blight is a constant reminder
Of all your struggles
The catalyst to your anger
And all your failures

Your anger for others
And for all their words
For leading you to failure
And taking your laughter

Their words led you astray
They played with your mind
Your courage broke away
You left your pride behind

The blight gets worse
You question your worth
Then you start crumbling
And lose faith in everything

Sadness hidden under smiles
Last wills hidden under files
Poisons hidden with medicine
You tried to keep everything in

You then descend the gallows
To run from everything that follows
You see the welcoming shadows
That wait down below

Then you stopped
Realized it's not worth it
But now you're stuck
There's no way around it

You lost your light
You're stuck in the dark
You cleansed the blight
But it left a mark
