Crushed in a slow time racing pattern continuously moving backwards
We can only live while we lose
Emotionally losing our minds as we portray many personas like actors
In a lake bed who will forever chase the goose
What sound does the centipede make while it crawls in your ear
Try your best to stay alive
With all these failing circuits
Then realize it doesn't matter the situation
You still won't be liked
Like you use to be
Beauty is skin deep
And bones are lovely
So sit and let it burrow deep
My centipede
Even enthusiasm can heal
But not regenerate wounds by far
They just turn into scars
How deep the centipede seeps
It won't make you weep
