There are monsters in my head And they plant poisonous seeds That latch onto my inner core Growing roots, so tight and unrelenting And with every perishing breath I succumb to The roots squeeze around my heart As if their disgusting existence depended on That evil task set before them I have desperately turned to every source of happiness I have ingested foreign substances in a Pathetic attempt to banish these monsters And their ****** poison seeds But my options are rapidly crumbling And the carcasses spite me as The opposing force loots through My once dominant empire And in this moment I have realized This infamous battle has taken sides with The clenching roots, feeding them strength So I raise my white flag and watch As my insides are clawed at, ripped apart And I suffer until my final breaths have Promptly arrived and it is then and Only then when these monsters peel their ungodly Faces off that I come to find I am staring back into my own detached Eyes, but it is too late to stop what I have done because my reality is Slipping in and out of rationality Until I am without a doubt vacant And when the clock pronounces me finished You will still smell my final moments As I watch each and every mind replay My descent with cold eyes and a Gentle smile plastered with excuses like The circumstances just weren’t right It’s no one’s fault but hers

There are monsters in my head And they plant poisonous seeds That latch onto my inner core Growing roots, so tight and unrelenting And with every perishing breath I succumb to The roots squeeze around my heart As if their disgusting existence depended on That evil task set before them I have desperately turned to every source of happiness I have ingested foreign substances in a Pathetic attempt to banish these monsters And their ****** poison seeds But my options are rapidly crumbling And the carcasses spite me as The opposing force loots through My once dominant empire And in this moment I have realized This infamous battle has taken sides with The clenching roots, feeding them strength So I raise my white flag and watch As my insides are clawed at, ripped apart And I suffer until my final breaths have Promptly arrived and it is then and Only then when these monsters peel their ungodly Faces off that I come to find I am staring back into my own detached Eyes, but it is too late to stop what I have done because my reality is Slipping in and out of rationality Until I am without a doubt vacant And when the clock pronounces me finished You will still smell my final moments As I watch each and every mind replay My descent with cold eyes and a Gentle smile plastered with excuses like The circumstances just weren’t right It’s no one’s fault but hers
