Break me down to battered bones
Then stake me through my shattered heart
No wounds you could inflict are worse
Than ways I've torn myself apart
From sleeping with my restless guilt
Awoken by regret
To wasting memories away
Whilst drinking to forget
Then fragmenting my sanity
To diamond shards of pain
So come and take a stab at it
I've tried before in vain
Eviscerate my rotten guts
I've spilt them more profuse
Asphyxiate my toxic breath
I'd help you tie the noose
Bury me alive with not
But shame and solitude
Spit upon my unmarked grave
I would not deem it rude
For in this dying world I bore
The weight of all enslaved
Yet wore Grim's cloak of darkness as
I reaped the ones I craved
No angels reached my Heaven's heights
No demons breached my Hell
Both gates remained forever locked
Inside my mortal shell
Imprisoned in Pandora's box
No deities designed
No creator gods explained
The chaos of my mind
Just made me to discover how
To understate depression
With all the words I write to you
As overkill confession
