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

Burning Blight
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
