I don't light up to open my mind, But to temporarily silence the demons. And right now The monsters are climbing into My eyes Ears Mouth Heart And ripping apart Every solid piece of myself I used to care about.
They’re laughing, Dripping venom, Burning me over and Over and OVER again. Making me scream so silently That no one else knows. No one else can hear The fleshy sound of Wet skin Being torn From the outside, in.
They don’t see My hands bound To my own demented thoughts Making me do things I’d once refused.
I see in flames now I see the world burning I see rubble, Wreckage and Ruins. I see remnants of a Person I used to love, used to know.
So lift me up higher than I’ve ever been before To suppress the inner creatures Controlling A newfound stranger.
